Review:

Needed some Poe in my life while I was cleaning so I picked a couple freebie audios on Audible to listen to.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh 'The Raven' is a classic. Always a blast to read/listen to. It is purely genius. 

I randomly picked this one narrated by Dominic West and the performance was incredible! Highly recommend this version if you want a quick listen. Def will re-listen to this during the Spooky season. I wonder if this narrator did another Poe....mmm....will have to research. 

But yes, this poem is great and it I feel reading aloud or audio is the way to go. 5 stars of course!

Title: The Tell-Tale Heart

Genre: Classics, Short stories, Horror, Mystery

Format: Audiobook

Published: 1843

Where I got It: Audible

Summary: 

"The Tell-Tale Heart" captures this classic narrative of the unnamed murderer in all its exquisite vileness, its self-effacing insanity that poses rationality where none exists. 

Review:

Another Poe for meeee while I cleaned the house!

I've listened to David Ian Davies in the past and I had to check this one out. 

This is another classic that I've enjoyed in the past, but I never did an audio version of it. Honestly....I really enjoyed it especially with this narrator. I even got goose-bumps at one point. Awesome and fun!!

Highly recommend this version if you need a quick listen. The narrator is great. I also loved how this sounded like an old radio show. 

I'll give this 5 stars as well.
