"The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe Audio book

So great!!!  "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe Audio book is available at loudlit.org.

In this story, there is an old, male victim, but the narrator’s gender is never mentioned. A nameless person explains that he is and was extremely nervous, but is not and was not insane. Rather, the narrator has a "disease" which makes all his senses, especially his hearing, very sensitive. The narrator of "The Tell-Tale Heart" is generally assumed to be male. Poe did not make the gender absolute. Poe’s interest is less in external forms of power than in the power that the mind can hold over an individual. The narrator’s guilt make it inevitable that he will give himself away to the police for his horrible crime.
