The Psychological Horror Story

Edgar Allan Poe wrote lots of histories, but one of them is "The Tell-Tale Heart", which talks about a man who wants to kill the man with who he lives. This old man have one bad eye, and this person who lives with him is obsessed with it. 
When that person finally kills the old man, he hide the dead body under the floor. Then, the police arrive, and he says that he was who killed the old man.

Poe invented the first macabre stories, and the first Psycohological Horror Story was "The Tell-Tale Heart". It was published in 1943.

But apart "The Tell-Tale Heart", he also wrote "The Black Cat", "The Cask of the Amontillado", "Murders in the Rue Morgue"...
