The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar
By Edgar Allan Poe
Length25m
About this audiobook
Mesmerism holds death at bay for seven months, reducing a man to a vibrating tongue in a decaying shell. When the trance is finally broken, the result is an instantaneous and horrific dissolution into a liquid putrescence. The story pushes the boundaries of bio-horror, exploring the grotesque consequences of tampering with the soul's departure.
