I am not sure how I ended up listening to this audiobook, but I have no regrets.
I'm personally not a fan of poetry, despite majority of my family loving it. And yet, this version of The Raven enchanted me.
The storytelling of the narrating voice was excellent. I could truly feel how the main chararer of this story grieves and slowly loses his mind to said grief. The rasping and gasping of desperation and creeping anger and madnes, the otherworldly feel of the raven...all of it made for an mysterious atmosphere that made the poem come alive for me.
So thank you for this lovely rendition of The Raven.

The Raven is lyrical, complex, beautiful and haunting. My favourite piece of poetry by Edgar Allan Poe and it was so captivating you can feel the verse.

“quoth the raven, nevermore”
— not my favourite edgar allan poe poem by any means but the raven provided one of the most woeful, tragic depictions of a descent into madness after grief i've read— almost felt like i was mourning and yearning for lenore myself.
