Now, Caedmon Audio presents a classic collection of Poe’s most terrifying tales performed by two of the most brilliant interpreters of his work, Vincent Price and Basil Rathbone. Between them, they perform 20 of Poe’s chilling stories and poems, creating an unforgettably intense listening experience.

Includes:
• The Gold Bug
• The Imp of the Perverse
• Ligeia Performed by Vincent Price
• The Tell-Tale Heart
• The Pit and the Pendulum
• The Raven Performed by Basil Rathbone

the performances as good as one would expect, deliciously hammy especially from Price. only criticism is that often several poems stories bunged into one chapter, and the readers often don't announce title of the piece which makes it difficult to navigate. Audible should do this better.

excellent fun except for editing

Any additional comments?

As with quite a few audio books I've listened to now the chapters of the audiobook represent downloaded chunks of data and not chapters in a book sense. It can be infuriatingly difficult to find the start of the desired story or poem until you've listened a few times RW and FW a few times. Some other kind reviewers, with more patience than I, have detailed the poems/stories and their start times on other previous reviews.....

Classic literature by classic characters, but....
