Disappointed

I’m a huge fan of Edgar. This really sucked and the poems aren’t even the same.../

hate the voice

you would be better off finding a "text to speech" to read it to you! I honestly feel like that's what this is

Boring and overrated

This hurts to write, but I think his writing was boring. There were a few stand out stories and writings that were great, but outside of those few, everything was skippable. The reader was good.

Forced Narration.

The Stories are wonderful but the lack of labeling chapters is an annoyance. In a recording so long and full of different stories, there is difficulty keeping track of where one stoey ends and the other begins. My only other complaint is that the narrator has lapses in his accent that sound as if he is forcing the accent to fit story better but really all it does is distract from the work itself.

Bad Bad Narrator

This is the best selection of stories and poems I've found yet and I'm a lifelong fan of Poe and have many books on him. That being said the narrator is terrible, his voice is monotone and one dimensional. He has no depth or character and it's obvious that this is his first time reading Poe, I liken it to a bored high school kid reading aloud in class. Plus he reads as if everything is one long continuous story. If you didn't know already know where the stories began and ended, you'd be lost. If you want a narrator that gives true depth and a sense of the gothic atmosphere listen to "Edgar Allen Poe the Complete Stories" read by Bob Thomley.
