The Tell Tale Heart
by Edgar Allen Poe
True!—nervous—very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am
mad? The disease had sharpened my senses—not destroyed—not dulled them. Above all was
the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things
in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily—how calmly I can tell you the
whole story.
"The Tell Tale Heart" by Edgar Allen Poe

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
by Washington Irving
Ichabod prided himself upon his dancing as much as upon his vocal powers. Not a limb, not a
fibre about him was idle; and to have seen his loosely hung frame in full motion, and clattering
about the room, you would have thought St. Vitus himself, that blessed patron of the dance, was
figuring before you in person. . . . How could the flogger of urchins be otherwise than animated
and joyous? The lady of his heart was his partner in the dance, and smiling graciously in reply to
all his amorous oglings; while Brom Bones, sorely smitten with love and jealousy, sat brooding by
himself in one corner.
