About this book

An unnamed narrator has very acute senses; he can smell, see, and hear better than anyone else. But that’s not a form of madness, is it? He lives with an old man who has an uncanny eye. Blue, veiled, horrifying. The narrator grows obsessed with it. But he’s not mad, he swears! He has a very rigorous plan to fight his unease. How could a madman act so carefully? What starts as a discomfort turns into a chilling descent into folly. Although this unnerving story is one of the shortest written by Edgar Allan Poe, it is also one of the best-known. You’ll hear this psychological fiction’s heart beat for a long time after reading it!
