    About this audiobook

    This collection of short stories contains several gothic tales to bear macabre and chilling witness to the imagination of Edgar Allan Poe, Joseph Conrad, Edith Nesbit and Rudyard Kipling. These tales are designed to unsettle you, just a little, as you sit back, and take in their words as lead you on a walk to places you perhaps rather not visit on your own. These stories are read for you by Ghizela Rowe and Richard Mitchley.

    Edgar Allan Poe

    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–49) reigned unrivaled in his mastery of mystery during his lifetime and is now widely held to be a central figure of Romanticism and gothic horror in American literature. Born in Boston, he was orphaned at age three, was expelled from West Point for gambling, and later became a well-regarded literary critic and editor. The Raven, published in 1845, made Poe famous. He died in 1849 under what remain mysterious circumstances and is buried in Baltimore, Maryland.

      Has there, in American letters, at least, ever been a better noticer than John Updike?  By “noticer,” I don’t mean “writer of detail,” exactly.  There are many writers whose use of detail I find more narratively effective:  Saul Bellow, Joan Didion,

    • 4/5
      It's an interesting mix of stories that range from murder for revenge, ghost stories, demonic possession, death personified, etc. The book has a very brief introduction that highlights various aspects of Poe's life and it is one of the rare times that I actually wished for a longer introduction. Also each of the eight stories has a paragraph or two of introduction that includes interesting tidbits like who first published the story and what was going on in the time of Poe's life when it was published. If you don't like spoilers, I suggest reading the introductory paragraphs AFTER you read the stories.
    • 3/5
      * The Cask of Amontillado - I think makes Poe so memorable is his vivid first-person accounts from the point of view of a killer.* Hop-Frog - Um. What is this man's obsession with orangutans?* MS. Found in a Bottle - Good suspense, but the ending confused me.* Ligeia - Didn't really go anywhere.* The Fall of the House of Usher - Not as interesting as his others, but good atmosphere.* William Wilson - Brilliant piece of horror.* The Masque of the Red Death - Meh. Weird for no reason and kind of boring.* The Imp of the Perverse - A strange little story on why we knowingly act not in our own interest - such as lying, procrastinating, drinking, and other things sure to get us into trouble - to explain a confession of murder.
