His works are characterized by a sophisticated interplay of psychological depth, unreliable narration, and stylistic innovation. This paper examines Poe’s narrative strategies through an in-depth analysis of "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Fall of the House of Usher," and "The Black Cat," illustrating how these techniques contribute to his stories' immersive and unsettling effects. Through a combination of literary theory and psychological analysis, this study elucidates Poe's contribution to narrative form and his enduring influence on literature.
