Valdemar" is Edgar Allan Poe's classic tale of a man who cheats death only to discover that there are far worse fates than the hereafter.

A classic tale of terror from beyond the shroud of death, Poe's tale of mesmerism gives us a glimpse into the pallid mind of madness. A dying man enlists the aid of a hypnotist to have himself put into a trance before dying in order to ease his suffering.

Worse, the trance is holding him in a terrible living-dead trance from which he seeks release - but could the release be even more horrible?

A short story by Edgar Allen Poe about a mesmerist who puts a man, M. Valdemar, in a hypnotic state at the moment of death. M. Valdimar remains in the state for seven months.

An ancient Egyptian mummy comes to life, but not to chase anyone around a tomb. This is a science fiction story, not a tale of horror. If you look carefully, you'll find a little sarcastic humor here and there. The mummy has a story of his own to tell, and it's quite an interesting one, to say the least. Another example of Poe's fantastic imagination.

Edgar Allan Poe's horrific short story is the account of a man's irreversible journey into madness as he awaits his execution by hanging the next morning. Fueled by bouts of alcoholism and what seems an inborn fatal streak of madness, his manic extremes of violence and guilt demand attacks upon the innocent to alay his own self-hatred.

Edgar Allan Poe's tale of Hop-Frog, the practical-joke-loving king's crippled dwarf servant, draws upon Poe's affinity for tales of vengeance and the horrific. The fat king and his seven ministers treat Hop-Frog and his female friend Trippetta, who is also a dwarf but beautifully proportioned, with disrespect whenever the king loses his temper. As long as the king and the likewise raucous seven are about their merriment and Hop-Frog joins them in their 'play', all is well. But beneath this lightness, the King has a dark and violent nature.

The fear of being buried alive is the ultimate fear, and no classic author has put into words the terror-filled experience any better than Edgar Allan Poe. Experience author and narrator Edgar Lloyd's chilling narration of this all-time classic as he takes you deep, deep, deep into the realms of the undead in this gripping tale.... "The Premature Burial". This short but telling tale will exhume your greatest fears.... Be scared for the first time...all over again.

Award-winning audiobook narrator Mike Vendetti performs Edgar Allen Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher, one of Poe's best.

Turn out the lights, and give this Gothic tale of horror a listen, but make sure you aren't alone.

The dark strains of madness that permeate many of the works of Edgar Allan Poe make their way through this macabre story. This memorable short story bears a resemblance to Poe's Tell Tale Heart. In both stories guilt leaves a murderer with a singular choice.

Edgar Allan Poe uses three elements, which make the mystifying atmosphere in the "Oblong Box". He uses nature, mystery, and a deep romantic love.
