the performances as good as one would expect, deliciously hammy especially from Price. only criticism is that often several poems stories bunged into one chapter, and the readers often don't announce title of the piece which makes it difficult to navigate. Audible should do this better.

excellent fun except for editing

Younger listeners might not know who Basil Rathbone and Vincent Price are, but a quick visit to Wikipedia should reassure them !

The masters at work !

if you don't like putting a black cat into your wall and then being caught at it then these tales are not for you. rathbone and price do poe full justice.

Anybody wanting to know where to start with Edgar Allan Poe,should look no further then this superb recording.All the classic tales and poems are here and they are read by two of of the "Golden Age Of Hollywoods" greatest orators,Vincent Price and Basil Rathbone.If I had one minor complaint,It would be the lack of title headings and poor chaptering.

The Master Of The Macabre
