Tell Tale Heart; where he 'drops himself in it again', Cask of Amontillado where a guy is bricked up in the cellar and does he light a candle for comfort in exchange for losing a portion of his oxygen. The Gold Bug; about unravelling a code, and one about a Wilson boy.. IMO though, short stories by Stephen King 'The Ledge' and 'Quitters Inc' are equally well written. Also 'The Trial' by Franz Kafka and 'Leaf By Niggle' by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Poe is fab, yes. In keeping with my username, I love The Raven.

Tell Tale Heart is possibly the best short story ever written. I once saw a cartoon version of it on TV narrated by James Mason. Astounding!

The best cartoon versions of Tell Tale Heart are surely to be found in The Simpssons? See
