@mirazal,
wow, thank you so much for your kind words. seriously, i can't even form a sentence right now - your review has me shocked & so giddy, you are way too kind. it's been so long since i've read tell-tale heart, but having something compared (even if it's indirectly, lol) to poe's work is such a huge compliment & i appreciated it so much. thank you for this, you are absolutely golden!
