The Imp of the Perverse

Suspense, fear and the supernatural provide the center for this tale by the master prose writer, Edgar Allan Poe.

The "Cambridge English Dictionary" defines an imp as a "small evil spirit." The same dictionary says this about "perverse" as a noun, "strange and not what most people would expect or enjoy." Combine those two and that's a statement. There's murder here. And madness. What else would you expect from Poe?
