Beschreibung

A dim, shadowy Victorian study. A lone man sits at a writing desk, surrounded by candlelight and heavy books. Behind him, a mirror faintly reflects a shadowy, imp-like figure perched on his shoulder, whispering in his ear. 
The Imp of the Perverse by Edgar Allan Poe is a compelling and unsettling psychological essay-story hybrid that explores the human compulsion toward self-destruction and irrational behavior. First published in 1845, this cerebral tale begins as a philosophical musing on the darker sides of human nature before morphing into a chilling first-person confession of murder—and its consequences. 
The narrator describes an unexplainable urge to act against one’s own best interests—an “imp of the perverse”—that lives within all of us. As his own tale unfolds, we witness the devastating power of this impulse, culminating in a moment of haunting self-sabotage and inevitable ruin. 
This audiobook offers a powerful, introspective narration of Poe’s sharp prose, perfect for lovers of psychological horror, philosophical fiction, and literature that delves into the complexities of the human mind.
