The Tell-Tale Heart and Other Terrifying Tales

In Edgar Allan Poe's eerie title story, an old man's diseased eye drives the narrator to murder. But while the murderer can rid himself of the eye, he can't silence the old man's heart. In Ambrose Bierce's Civil War story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge", the execution of a Southern planter provides one of the classic scences from all Civil War fiction. Not merely stories of suspense and horror, these are stories of honor and the struggle for justice. Here Grendel the night stalker, the scourge of his time, is challenged and defeated by Beowulf, who tells us he has "driven the [unjust] from the face of the earth." Howard Levy's original music complements these horror stories. For Ages 10 to Adult
