About this listen

Universally acclaimed as the maestro of horror and the morbid, Edgar Allan Poe's dark gift has for more than a century and a half set the standard for the genre. Here, 20 of Poe's most chilling stories and poems are performed by two of his most brilliant interpreters: Vincent Price and Basil Rathbone. Included are The Tell-Tale Heart, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Cask of Amontillado, The Fall of the House of Usher, Bells, The Gold Bug, and many more!©2000 HarperCollins Publishers, Inc., All Rights Reserved.

Velvet Macabre

There are no better vernaculars to orate Poe's anecdotes than those of THE Vincent Price and Mr. Basil Rathbone. However, I am quite perturbed that Poe's most infamous tale, The Raven, was not included in this collection. I downloaded this audible with the utmost anticipation of hearing it performed in the most dramatic of narratives that only one of these two gentlemen could lend to it... only to find it didn't exist. I feel as though my auditory faculties have been robbed of the euphonious experience.
