The Raven and Selected Short Stories
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
The title work in this collection of twelve short stories and poems is widely regarded as the most famous of Edgar Allan Poe's writings. This unsettling tale in verse tells of a man's slow descent into madness as he mourns the loss of his lover. The mysterious visit of a talking raven that utters only one word sparks the man's steady decline.
Now the inspiration for a major motion picture starring John Cusack, these tales of mystery and terror are here brought vividly to life by Blackstone Audio. Poe, the inventor of the modern detective story, was an expert at weaving suspense and horror into tales that thrill and chill. Included in this collection are "The Raven," "The Pit and the Pendulum," "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Masque of the Red Death," "The Cask of Amontillado," "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," "The Black Cat," "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar," "Hop-Frog," "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt," and "The Purloined Letter."

- content: "Poe constantly and inevitably produced magic where his greatest contemporaries produced only beauty."
- premium: True
- source:
- content: Stefan Rudnicki and Bronson Pinchot work eerily well together to bring a dozen of Edgar Allan Poe's works to life. Pinchot's pacing and timing are impeccable--from the frantic whispers of a tortured man's startling confession in ÒThe Fall of the House of UsherÓ to the matter-of-fact tone he gives a madman who hides a dismembered body in ÒThe Tell-Tale Heart.Ó In ÒThe Raven,Ó there's a guttural, almost growling quality to Rudnicki's voice that's as dark as the feathers of the bird itself. Throughout the production both narrators add suspenseful pauses that have just the right spine-tingling effect. M.D. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
