About this listen

Edgar Allan Poe was a writer, poet, editor and literary critic. Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre, and is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States and of American literature. Poe was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story and considered to be the inventor of the detective fiction genre, as well as a significant contributor to the emerging genre of science fiction.

Excellent narration; mixed ratings for the stories

Listened to alongside a paperback copy for some of it, so worth noting that some words differed from time to time. Only one I noticed that was a definite error rather than a discrepancy in edition/publication ('external' instead of 'eternal' in one of the poems). A small handful of short poems missing, too.
Instead of reviewing well scrutinised literature, here's my list of highlight titles:
The Gold Bug, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Black Cat, The Pit and the Pendulum, The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether, Never Bet the Devil Your Head, Thou Art the Man, The Spectacles and Three Sundays in a Week, and especially Eureka (which was not in my paperback edition).
And some titles I feel are better would've been better left skipped: The Thousand and Second Tale of Scheherazade, X-ing a Paragrab, Mellonta Tauta, The Man That Was Used Up, The Business Man, The Sphinx, Four Beasts in One and Lionising.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
