I liked it the tell tale heart is definitely my favourite from Edgar Allan Poe. But there are more stories in the book like the fall of the house of Usher and the cask of amontillado. The first one I also liked the second one I didn't.

Probably not as scary as it might have been at the time. Still, it's weirdly unsettling and absolutely timeless in that respect. The prose has the strange power to make the story feel more dead and more alive simultaneously.
