Berenice by Edgar Allan Poe – A Haunting Tale of Obsession and Madness

from Weekly Spooky | Scary Stories for Halloween · host Henrique Couto | Scary Stories & Horror Expert

Egaeus cannot stop thinking about his cousin Berenice's teeth. As her illness worsens, his fixation reduces the woman he knows to one terrible detail. This dramatic reading of Edgar Allan Poe's Berenice brings a Gothic tale of obsession, unreliable memory, and bodily dread to Weekly Spooky. The secluded family home offers little protection from a mind that cannot release its chosen object. Hear Poe's first-person account unfold toward a discovery the narrator himself struggles to understand. What can an obsession make someone overlook—and what might it make him do?
