Edgar Allan Poe Audio Books

Edgar Allan Poe is the undisputed master of gut-twisting stories of terror and the macabre. His sinister genius has endured for more than a century, and his stories build in intensity as he skilfully pulls the reader deeper into a frightening world of haunted landscapes, tormented figures and mental instability.

The incomparable Basil Rathbone reads six of Poe's best tales of horror on this recording.

Included here are 'The Tell-Tale Heart', a story of a man's descent into insanity;

'The Fall of the House of Usher', a tale in which the mournful sighs of a not-quite-dead lady echo through the night;

'The Cask of Amontillado', a notorious chronicle of revenge;

'The Black Cat, The Masque of the Red Death',

and the nerve-wracking classic, 'The Pit and the Pendulum'.
