Enjoy this unabridged version of one of Poe's most spine-tingling stories..."The Black Cat"!

Enjoyed the story, if you like Poe, then you'll like this. Scary story, just right for bedtime. Although I expected more of a binaural experience - there didn't seem to be much in the way of sound effects or enveloping sound. Maybe you need to listen through headphones rather than speakers. Still an enjoyable listen.

This is the third work by Poe that I have listened to by the Fort Raphael Publishing Company. It is also by far the creepiest one I've listened to! Since I'm an animal lover and own two cats, one that looks a lot like the cover photo, I was a bit unnerved by the story (I won't give any spoilers here) but knowing Poe, the ending was worth it. This rendition of The Black Cat was very well produced and the special effects just set it apart from other readings. The narrator has a smooth voice that delivers the story with perfect style yet doesn't have that creep factor that if done by someone with a more "Vincent Price" type voice would just make the whole thing too much. I really do enjoy these readings. If you are in a study group or class that is reading Poe, this is highly recommended, as are the other Poe readings by the Fort Raphael Publishing Company. The smooth voice and the great special effects are what set them apart from the rest!

Not Good For Cat Lovers, GREAT For Poe Lovers!
