Poe was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story and considered to be the inventor of the detective fiction genre, as well as a significant contributor to the emerging genre of science fiction.

Forevermore…

…will I remember the writing and intellectual contributions of Poe to the world. Prior to hearing about his fascinating involvement in early American metaphysical circles, I’d only known his more popular horror stories and poems. He is so much deeper and I will never forget several of the longer works, like the epic adventure of Arthur Gordan Pym of Nantucket. Narration is beautiful. I’m not a big fan of poetry, even from a great mind like EEP, so can’t say much about that.;

Now THIS is the Poe collection to get!

Fully, properly indexed, featuring probably the best audiobook performances I’ve ever heard, by two readers who fully understand and authentically convey the intensity of the work. If you have any doubts start right with Ligeia and you’ll be hooked! There is no need for any other Poe audio collection besides this one.

The Finest Poe Collection

This collection, expertly read with true understanding and enthusiasm by Jonathan Keeble, is one of my favorite things I've listened to on Audible. Poe is an incredible storyteller and it's a pleasure to be taken through all his stories in safe hands.

Unlike many others, this collection is FULLY INDEXED so you can easily find which story/poem you are looking for. A great bonus.

Track 198: Closing Credits

This is fantastic!

This narrator is wonderful. He has a rich, full voice and reads it well. I'm really enjoying listening to it. I haven't listened to the whole thing (it's 60 hours long) but everything I've listened to has been great!

An Average Man's Thoughts

I could not pay attention to what was happening. Due to the youth problem of not being able to pay attention to one thing for very long I typically listen to a book while; doing chores, working out, or going to sleep. For the life of me I could only keep track of what was happening in each short story if I was using either my full or the majority of my attention. There isn't necessarily a problem with that except that I was getting bored with each story pretty fast. Maybe I just don't have the attention span for 60 hours of short stories which will eventually use the word "ejaculate" because boy did my man Poe have an obsession with it. Of course I enjoyed, The Raven, and A Tell-Tale Heart, we all do. However I thought there would be some other good eerie listens in here, and after 30 some odd hours of life I'll never get back, I found just some disappointment. Not worth it, thank GOD for the audible credits because full price is not worth it.

Voice acting was excellent though!
