A proposito di questo titolo

This is a story from the Fall of the House of Usher collection.

The horrors of the Spanish Inquisition, with its dungeon of death, and the overhanging gloom on the House of Usher demonstrate unforgettably the unique imagination of Edgar Allan Poe. Unerringly, he touches upon some of our greatest nightmares: Premature burial, ghostly transformation, words from beyond the grave. Written in the 1840s, they have retained their power to shock and frighten even now.

Also in this collection of Poe's tales of mystery and imagination: "The Black Cat", "The Facts in the Case of M Valdemar", "The Cask of Amontillado", "Ligeia", "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Masque of the Red Death", "The Premature Burial", and "The Raven".

Recensioni editoriali

Edgar Allen Poe’s masterpiece of gothic terror featuring paranoia, uncommon disease, madness, a crumbling, gloomy mansion, and a family unfortunate for generations receives a spirited production in this selection from the Fall of the House of Usher and Other Tales of Mystery and Imagination collection of Poe’s short works. AudioFile Earphones Award-winning narrator William Roberts ranges widely in tone, from somber to excited to terrified, with his performance of this nightmarish tale describing the psychologically searing demise of the final two members of an ancient family.

Recensioni della critica

"Those who thought only Basil Rathbone could narrate Poe are in for a surprise and a treat. The no-nonsense William Roberts narrates a production mercifully free of frills. No unnecessary music or sound effects interfere with the brilliance of the writing or the purity of the performance." ( AudioFile)
