Why Does It Always Rain In Graveyards by Paul Marandina

The procession of gravestones is staring at me. That’s how it seems with not a soul about. I scan the horizon, a site littered with trees. [...]

‘His soul swooned slowly as he heard the
snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the
living and the dead.’ ~

‘Villains!' I shrieked. 'Dissemble no more! I admit the deed! Tear up the planks! Here, here! It is the beating of his hideous heart!’ ~
Edgar Allan Poe, The Tell-Tale Heart and Other Writings. #BookWormSat #Gothtober
🖼️ Rackham

An illustration by Arthur Rackham for Edgar Allan Poe's short story, "The Tell-Tale Heart". It depicts the climax of the story, showing the narrator's confession to the murder of an old man.
A frantic man, the narrator, is seen in the centre, looking terrified and clutching his head. He is standing on a floor with loose planks.
Three police officers are standing around him. One of them holds a piece of a ladder or a chair.
Beneath the floorboards, a dismembered body is visible.
The narrator's expression and posture convey his distress as he believes he can hear the beating heart of the dead man, which ultimately leads him to confess his crime.
