Edgar Allan Poe has the ability to manipulate language so well that he could engage my imagination and get me terrified even though little was 'done' in the sense of horrible actions described. My imagination, under the power of his creepy words, conjured the atmosphere and did the rest by itself. In this recording I've chosen some of his stories that succeed so well in leaving lingering hair raising memories with me: The Telltale Heart; The Masque of the Red Death; The Black Cat; The Raven, the Casque of Amontillado and Berenice. I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I did reading them. (Summary by phil chenevert) (1 hr 59 min)

Maybe it's because I have ADHD but I couldn't focus on this narrator at all. I would easily think about other things and be lost as to what was happening in the story. I listened to the first 3 short stories then had to stop. Also some of his pronunciation and his cadence drove me nuts. I can see how some might like it but his emphasis and excitement seemed misplaced that could have been focused better elsewhere.

Five stars to the narrator! So fitting to the story. I love his emotions, the way he pronounce and read is amazing. Overall this is indeed a great book. My issue is me having troubles with some of the stories. They seem to be hard to understand and needs more concentration and maybe repeating the story again and again. My favourite is Telltale heart and Black Cat. My full review will be on goodreads.
wonderfully narrated stories

I think Phil chenevert could read a phone book and it would come out just as eloquently done. the story is here by Edgar Allan Poe are very scary but Phil seems to give it a somewhat comical atmosphere with the inflection of his voice and pronunciation of certain words. I find this draws my attention to the story and holds me there

When he spoke the first chapter it was chilling. He does a really good job. And the end of the last chapter made me freeze. Good job.
Good Read

I actually enjoy many of Edgar Allan Poe. More for his ability to twisted the mind then for the horror he spins in his tails. Which is why I can say I really do enjoy the tails here even if I don't find them particularly creepy as it would seem most do. Thank you to the volunteer who gave voice to this work.

Every school student of 14 years old or more should be REQUIRED to read Poe. There is dark humor in his writing all the way to creepy horror. yes, humor and horror both. The cantor and beauty of the writing and the detailed imagery it evokes is the hallmark of this master of American Literary History.

I’m new to the app and I’ve been listening to many readers who were hard to understand or voices weren’t equipped enough to hook the readers in and engage. This is my favourite reader as he has a soothing voice, is enthusiastic when necessary and really easy to understand and listen to.
