About this audiobook
Just who was Edgar Allan Poe? Of course he was an author, but there were parts of his life that were shrouded in mystery, like many of his stories. The differences between fact and fiction were intermingled and became even more so after his death.
Readers around the world had their imaginations stimulated by his tales of mystery and sometimes horror. He was able to arouse emotions by making implausible subjects and events into believable happenings. That ability made them into literary classics.
Affairs of his real life sometimes echoed the frequent bizarre viewpoints that he brought to startling life in his manuscripts.
This audiobook features two of his horror variety tales, “The Fall of the House of Usher” and “The Tell-Tale Heart,” as well as two of his more famous poems, “The Raven” and “Annabel Lee.”
