Now, Caedmon Audio presents a classic collection of Poe's most terrifyingtales performed by two of the most brilliant interpreters of his work, VincentPrice and Basil Rathbone.

Between them, they perform 20 of Poe's chilling stories and poems, creatingan unforgettably intense listening experience.

It would be hard to imagine more fitting narrators for Poe's classic horrortales than Price and Rathbone, two superb, classically trained actors who becamehousehold names starring in movies of suspense and mystery. Poe's work isespecially well-suited to audio, and these remastered, archival Caedmonrecordings, originally released on phonograph records, showcase the two actorsat their finest. Both Price and Rathbone perfectly convey the prototypical Poenarrator trying to come to grips with the horror he has experienced. In"Berenice," Price's voice sounds refined yet deeply troubled as he struggles toexplain the insidious, neurotic obsession taking over his life. "The Cask ofAmontillado" finds Rathbone chuckling with evil pleasure at the well-plannedmurder of one who has slighted him. Among the remaining featured tales are "TheTell-Tale Heart," "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Raven," "Annabel Lee,""The Black Cat" and "The Pit and the Pendulum." This audio is an absolute mustfor Poe fans, and high school and college students assigned Poe stories forEnglish class will find the literature takes on new meaning with thisrecording.
