About this listen
On the banks of Lake Drummond, on the edge of the Great Dismal Swamp, there is a tree in the shape of a woman.
One dark, moonlit night, two artists met at the Lake Drummond Hotel, built directly on the borderline of North Carolina and Virginia. One was a young woman with the ability to see spirits trapped in trees and stone, anchored to the earth beyond their years. Her gift was to draw them, and then to set them free. The other was a dark man, haunted by dreams and visions that brought him stories of sadness and pain, trapped in a life between the powers he sensed all around him and a mundane existence attended by failure. They were Eleanore MacReady, Lenore, to her friends, and a young poet named Edgar Allan Poe, who traveled with a crow that was his secret, and almost constant companion, a bird named Grimm for the talented brothers of fairy-tale fame.
Their meeting drew them together in vision, and legend, and pitted their strange powers and quick minds against the depths of the Dismal Swamp itself, ancient legends, and time.
Once, upon a shoreline dreary, there was a tree. This is her story.

Imagine a young ER doctor confronting a patient in the Lonely Pines Hospital emergency room in 1981 Ohio, where both of their lives might be turned upside down and spun in a completely different direction. This riveting medical sci-fi story will have you wondering if you’ve ever experienced a similar bizarre incident, and how time, space, and historical events may be more fluid than we ever thought possible. Beware; a strange visitor may already have your number.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 32,819
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

The story begins in 1962. On a rocky patch of the sun-drenched Italian coastline, a young innkeeper, chest-deep in daydreams, looks out over the incandescent waters of the Ligurian Sea and spies an apparition: a tall, thin woman, a vision in white, approaching him on a boat. She is an actress, he soon learns, an American starlet, and she is dying. And the story begins again today, half a world away, when an elderly Italian man shows up on a movie studio's back lot - searching for the mysterious woman he last saw at his hotel decades earlier.

It is a tale of ghosts, of madness, of revenge - of old alliances giving way to new intrigues. Denmark is changing, shaking off its medieval past. War with Norway is on the horizon. And Hamlet - son of the old king, nephew of the new - becomes increasingly entangled in a web of deception - and murder. Beautifully performed by actor Richard Armitage ("Thorin Oakenshield" in the Hobbit films), Hamlet, Prince of Denmark takes Shakespeare’s original into unexpected realms, reinventing a story we thought we knew.

Creepy chiller will give you goosebumps!
If you could sum up Nevermore in three words, what would they be?
Creepy, gloomy, atmospheric.
What did you like best about this story?
The setting. Absolutely brilliant, gave me the creeps all the way through. Perhaps it was the creepy swamp filled surroundings but centainly set a very creepy backdrop for what was a very well written story.
Which scene was your favorite?
The scenes towards the end with Grimm.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I was creeped out, which doesn't happen with the vast majority of horror novels I read so this certainly worked.
Any additional comments?
This is the second book by author David Niall Wilson I have listened to (first being Ancient Eyes) and I have throughly enjoyed both of them. In addition the Narrator Gigi Shane was really enjoyable, she had a soft slow soothing voice which worked well for this story.*This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review.

Nevermore
Any additional comments?
I listened to the audible version of this.I found it good,not great.It was full of imagination,mysterious circumstances and a very interesting idea of where Edgar Alan Poe got his idea for 'Lenore'.I found Gigi Shane to be a good narrator.She kept up with the unusual pace of the storyline pretty well.I may read it again when I get time to see if I missed anything.

Interesting story, well written & likable narrator
I learned in high school, then reinforced in college, that I am not a fan of Edgar Allen Poe. I was reluctant to read this book but I decided to give it a try because of a strong recommendation from an acquaintance in one of my reading groups. After all, it's not actually one of Poe's stories that I'd be reading, so why not try?
The story was well written and I was very pleased with the narrator's voice. I enjoyed the main characters in the book. Enough to become vested in their stories and their fates. Similar to Poe's writing, there is a thread of darkness and solemnity in the undercurrents.
The book leaves me with lingering questions and unsettled feelings about the futures of the characters. I know that uncertainty and regrets are part of life's tapestry for all of us but it's not my preferred reading theme. If there was a sequel with resolutions, I'd probably read it but I'd be hoping to walk away with a better sense of "good will prevail" when I'm done.

Simple, but enjoyable!
Would you listen to Nevermore again? Why?
Maybe just to pick up on some of the details.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Nevermore?
When Lennore passed on to another world.
Have you listened to any of Gigi Shane’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
no.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Perhaps, but I don't have that much time to listen all at once.
Any additional comments?
I am a big Edgar Allen Poe fan. I enjoyed this very much because although it is fiction, it helped me visualize him as a living person, not just a historical figure. The adventure was simple, yet interesting. I would be interested in additional adventure writings with this EAP character.

Great Story
Any additional comments?
I really enjoyed the story. It was dark, but had a way of drawing you into othe imagery of the story. The only issue I had, was that the narrator was hard to listen to. I found myself missing parts of the book because of the way the narrator...kinda droned on. It was a little tedious. The story is a keeper though, and the narrator didn't distract me so much that I did not enjoy the book.

Once upon a midnight dreary...
Would you try another book from David Niall Wilson and/or Gigi Shane?
I would like to try another audiobook narrated by Gigi Shane-I felt her performance was hindered by the writing. The continually dark and ominous tone of the story got old after a while, just kept hitting that same tone- and at times it lost me as a listener. I think the author tried to capture the feel and tone of a work of Poe, but fell short.
Have you listened to any of Gigi Shane’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not listened to any other work of Gigi Shane but would like to see what else she is capable of.

A Talented Writer of the Macabre
This is certainly one of the most captivating and creative accounts of Edgar Allen Poe and his Lenore, as well as the foundations for Poe's infamous poem, "The Raven". Filled with unexpected twists and turns that left me guessing until the very end, David Niall Wilson has proven himself to be an extraordinary storyteller with a keen gift for the macabre. The suspense throughout was spectacular and never did I feel a sense of prolonging. Wilson has put forth everything I could want from such a novel; extremely well-developed characters, suspense, intrigue, and a great deal of unpredictability. As a long time fan of Edgar Allen Poe, this is one of the rare creative endeavors that truly capture Poe's spirit and then goes beyond to create a mesmerizing story within a story. The narrator of this audio edition, Gigi Shane, is equally as talented. Her voice is rather deep and raspy, yet soft and gentle, which only enhances the ambiance of the story. Listening to her was as though I were enveloped in an old quilt; a bit frayed and rough on the edges but warm and comforting as it drew me in. Her narration was astounding and truly brought this novel life. My overall experience with this particular audiobook was astounding and I sincerely could not ask for anything more. I highly recommend this to any fan of the macabre and Edgar Allen Poe in particular....FIVE stars!

Gigi Shane has a great repertoire of voices!
The book was well narrated, I don't think I would have stayed with it if I was reading it myself. This narrator helped through the boring parts. Narrator-4*; Book-3*.

Edgar Allan Poe in his famous Poem, The Raven
Nevermore is story of a younger Edgar Allan Poe. In this story of how the Raven came to be, explores a possibility where Edgar Allan Poe meets Eleanor MacReady (aka Lenore)at The Lake Drummond Hotel. Both artist and writer are compelled to come to The Dismal Swamp.
With the accidental meeting between Lenore and Edgar Allan Poe, each discovered that they both have a gift. Lenore's gift as an artist is to free spirits that are trapped in objects. Edgar's gift (obviously) is to tell stories.
Lenore and Edgar are pawns in the battle of good vs. evil in this supernatural story. The author David Niall Wilson does an excellent job of keeping with the gothic writing style of Edgar Allan Poe. As with all of Edgar Allan Poe's gothic stories, it always has a melancholy ending.
I could listen to this story over and over again. The narrator, Gigi Shane tells the story in a very interest way that capture the characters and that melancholy ending of the story. I do recommends this audiobook to Edgar Allan Poe's fans. They will not be disappointed especially of telling how the Raven came to be and the mysterious woman,Lenore which is mentioned in the poem.
