| Was he an imp of the perverse? |
If anyone in reading this blog has sought out "The Imp of the Perverse," you have my apologies. It's not very good. When I decided to play off the name, I went and read it. I had probably read it in the past, but it's not the sort of thing to stick in the mind.
"Imp of the Perverse" reads like a rough draft for "The Tell-Tale Heart." A man commits a crime and then cannot keep it a secret. The only probably is that Poe wrote "Tell-Tale Heart" before he wrote "Imp of the Perverse." Either he tossed it off quickly to make some money or fulfill an obligation, or he was trying something new and it just didn't work.
