Edgar Allan Poe Stories As Told in Texts
Edgar Allan Poe wrote lots of poems and short stories. He could have just stopped at “The Tell-Tale Heart” and we all would have been fine with it, but he didn’t.

In any case, maybe he knew he was short on time and so he used what little time he had to gift us with as many unsettling works of fiction as he could.
