Poe is a writer of many fantastic tales, I am a huge fan but don't waste your money/credit on this audiobook, the narrator reads it like a lecture. No emotion, no pauses, no change of tone for different characters. Make sure you listen to the sample, he is reading at such a fast monotonous pace it is ridiculous.
Total waste of time.

WORST NARRATOR EVER.

The reader is nearly as bad as Cathy Dobson! His voice is good but his conveyance is monotone, unenthusiastic and almost impossible to follow. He makes no attempt to change his voice to suit the character.
I'm glad this was cheap.

I had to stop 6 minutes in. It's like the early days of speech synthesis, Speak and Spell would do better.

Please tell me this is being read by a machine

I lasted exactly 5 minutes, narrative was dull, painful, generated and disjointed. Author would hate.
