Fall of the House of Usher, The: Pit and the Pendulum, The: And Other Tales...The horrors of the Spanish Inquisition, with its dungeon of death, and the overhanging gloom on the House of Usher demonstrate unforgettably the unique imagination of Edgar Allan Poe. Unerringly, he touches upon some of our greatest nightmares - premature burial, ghostly transformation and words from beyond the grave. Written in the 1830s and 1840s, they have retained their power to shock and frighten even now.

Christopher Walken Reciting The Raven
The Raven: Read by Christopher Walken
Christopher Walken reading The Raven, I was going to make it really visually trippy but thought Poe's image was trippy enough!! Walken has the perfect voice for this poem, one of my favorites! p.s. I did not add the guitar, this is original audio.

Murders in the Rue Morgue, The: The Dupin Stories
Audio Book
Murders in the Rue Morgue, The: The Dupin StoriesC. Auguste Dupin, investigator extraordinaire, was the remarkable creation of Edgar Allan Poe. Written in the 1840s, Poe presented the acutely observant, shrewd but idiosyncratic character who, with his chronicler, provided the inspiration for Doyle's more famous Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. Here are the three Dupin stories. What is the strange story behind The Murders in the Rue Morgue? Can Dupin solve, by analysis from afar, The Mystery of Marie Roget? And how can he possibly retrieve The Purloined Letter when the efforts of the Paris police have been in vain?

- Many years ago my oldest sister used to recite The Black Cat and we all used to recite parts of The Raven and Bells, Bells, Bells. I don't think kids memorize like we used to. I still remember most of what I learned. Great lens. I truly enjoyed. Thank you.

- "The Raven" is my favorite poem, so much so that I memorized every word. It is a brilliant piece of work, and so haunting. Many people have heard the first line "Once upon a midnight dreary", but how many know it is from Poe's "The Raven"?

- Definitely a favorite. The Raven was the first of his works I read, and found it dark, suspenseful, spine-tingling, just plain fantastic. I have had the chance to read many more of his works, but not all. Well done lens.

- Yes, I'm a fan of Edgar Allan Poe. I read "Murders in the Rue Morgue" when I was a kid. I thought it was pretty scary. I also like listening to the sudio of "The Raven."

- The most gifted poet we have ever known.
"The skies they were ashen and sober;
The leaves they were crisped and sere -
The leaves they were withering and sere;
It was night in the lonesome October
Of my most immemorial year:
It was hard by the dim lake of Auber,
In the misty mid region of Weir -
It was down by the dank tarn of Auber,
In the ghoul-haunted woodland of Weir."
