Poe showed us how much pleasurable a murder can be but he also showed us the consequences of murderous deeds. There is nothing more painful and terrifying than a guilty conscience.
It is not about the murder! it is irrelevant, it is all about the confession! Or jump - if you may. It is not about conscience, It is the urge to confess to the perfect Murder- the Urge to jump into the the Abyss - The Only Reason is beacuse you can! What stops you from taking that Leap into the Abyss, it is just a small Step , and then you are heard no more! - So easy, and yet so difficult! This is the Imp of the Perverse!
It feels like poe has just written about the exact state of art/writer's block, and the propensity of anxiety and procrastination. I'm getting cold sweats just listening to this. 2:45 - 8:15

Vincent Price and Edgar Allan Poe were a match made for each other.

Lemuel Rosario youre such a good boy. In Poe "conscience" means NOTHING. the reason to confess is precisely because therese no reason
Lemuel Rosario Preach!

This is like 20 percent of a Bill Burr standup show in a nutshell
one of my favorite poems,,,and wonderful orator
Vincent Price did well reading this
He could do no wrong, in my opinion. Perfect tone in his Poe readings; showed restraint here...
That last picture of his grave kinda haunted me
Eyecon code: e3158
The narrator sounds like Brain from Pinky and the Brain lol
Solid Narration, but this is a weaker story by Poe
A weak Poe story is still stronger writing than 95% franchise blockbusters
