So its said, it is So. Our darkened friend Edgar Allen Poe.


(5 stars)

What a sweet bedtime read. I sleep so deep awaiting the arrival of the day , It's a rhythm and the rhyme. That's what way thus Raven did say... Lenore tis thus Evermore.

I love the raven, it's such a classic and this person's voice was a terrible choice for it


(2 stars)

narrator needs to submerge in the poem . not poke it from arms length


(4 stars)

Truly strange and not a little dark. It seems like an opiated reverie or a fevered dream somewhere between sleep and wakefulness. He will see Lenore never more and hopefully the Raven, in the dawn will be gone for evermore. I like the English reader. If Poe had been an Englishman, he probably would’ve sounded like him.

A raven


(5 stars)

Great reading of a classic Edgar Allen Poe poem, or, as I like to humorously call it, a Poem. It feels fitting to end this review with the main line: “Quoth the raven, Nevermore.”

love the Raven hate the reading

there's a ready by Christopher Lee on YouTube I've gone back to for years 100x better than this reading. go check that one out if you see this.

Dramatic Reading


(5 stars)

I love how the reader interjects his interpretation and turns this poem into a dramatic reading. it seemed more like a short play being read out than a poem.


(5 stars)

Refined Dictation: Clear & Enjoyable. English accent. Almost dead on to how I blend the lines into full sentences and evoke a story instead of patterned lines of rhythm.
