Welcome back to Undertow Realm's podcast, taking you on winding roads of the weird and the wicket.

I'm your host, Fred Greenhalch.

Our classic tales that macab continue today with a journey into the throbbing heart of madness,

a full cast production of The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar

Alan Poe. This originally appeared in Bill DeFries's Nightmares on Congress Street Collection.

If you like what you hear, want to hear others like it. Check out the Midnight Matinees podcast

by Pucket Universe Productions. And now a journey into the heavy toll of a burdened conscience.

This is Edgar Allan Poe's iconic tale, the tale-tale heart.

I know why you're here, Doctor. The Look on your face. I'm here, Doctor. The. I'm Dr. Edgar. I'm here to ask you...

And what if I have?

It hasn't dulled my senses.

No.

In fact, it's sharpened them, all of them, especially my hearing.

Your hearing?

Oh, yes.

I can hear everything that goes on around me.

The roaches that crawl along the floor, the rats, scurrying behind the walls and the voices in the other room.

I can hear the symphony of heaven and the cacophony of hell.

How could I be crazy then?
