12 Creepy Tales by Edgar Allan Poe Loyal Books From the master of the psychological horror genre comes this brilliant collection 12 Creepy Tales by Edgar Allan Poe. It features some of his classics like The Tell-Tale Heart, The Black Cat and The Cask of Amontillado which are supreme examples of his craft. The Black Cat is a truly horrifying story of a death-row confession of guilt by a serial killer. The much loved family cat becomes the agent of his destruction and inevitable descent into crime and madness. Another superb story is The Facts in the Case of M Valdemar. In this chilling tale, a mesmerist uses his skill to put a man into a trance at the exact moment of death. Poe wrote this story based on a newspaper report that he read about a New York doctor who was supposed to have conducted an operation after placing the patient under hypnosis. Such was Poe's talent that the story was mistaken for a genuine scientific report when it first came out! Writers and poets like Kipling and Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote personally to El barril de amontillado Andres Es un cuento que trata sobre la venganza Edgar Allan Poe Short Story Collection Anna B Listen to eight short stories and poems by Edgar Allan Poe performed by professional narrator and actress Anna Butterworth in an easy-to-listen-to and understandable style that brings these dark timeless classics to life. This collection includes The Black Cat, The Masque of the Red Death, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Cask of Amontillado, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Raven and The Premature Burial. Six Creepy Stories by Edgar Allan Poe by Edgar Allan Poe Loyal Books Edgar Allan Poe has the ability to manipulate language so well that he could engage my imagination and get me terrified even though little was 'done' in the sense of horrible actions described. My imagination, under the power of his creepy words, conjured the atmosphere and did the rest by itself. In this recording I've chosen some of his stories that succeed so well in leaving lingering hair raising memories with me: The Telltale Heart; The Masque of the Red Death; The Black Cat; The Raven, the Casque of Amontillado and Berenice. I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I did reading them.
