Poe never disappoints. I've read most of these countless times, but each one still causes a little tremor of terror.

It's hard to read these stories and imagine the influence they would have had upon the original readers since so much horror had been written since, making these lose the shock value (or even my own from first reading them in 5th grade.) It is interesting to think about their historical impact though- the fear of being buried alive caused the coffins Poe describes to actually be widely built etc.. and the development of other scary stories.
Fantastic narration by Edward Blake of classic Poe stories and poems. Thoroughly spooky!
