Short but Creepy

This is one of Poe's best in my opinion and having it read out loud really brings out the CREEPY. Kevin does an amazing job with this story. I highly recommend this book.

Disturbing

I received this book for free at my request but the opinion is of my own. A man loves animals and making his wife happy until suddenly he starts to change. He starts acting different and consequences follow.

Classically Terrifying!

Kevin Theis was magnificent in his narration of this delightful story by the hauntingly talent of Edgar Allen Poe.

I also enjoyed the music and sounds in the background, which normally I abhor, but for a horror story of Edgar Allen Poe, it was necessary and made it uniquely terrifying and real.

A good reading of a classic

Another wonderful performance of Poe's work that I can highly recommend!

I was given this audiobook free at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Perfect short horror story

The Black Cat – Unabridged, By Edgar Allan Poe, Narrated by Kevin Theis

This is an Edgar Allan Poe nice short book. It is only 28 mins long. Short and easy to listen. This book is narrated by brilliant Kevin Theis. He gave all of this emotions in this book, so you can really enjoy the story as the listener. He uses his voice brilliantly and increases the tension as needed. This is a little bit of horror story which is enhanced by narrators voice and special effects. I usually do not listen to horror, but this was really refreshing and well done. Sound effects give the story an excellent contribution.

My hope is that this review helps in your decision whether to obtain this book.

Take a quick journey with a horror classic!

Edgar Allan Poe's The Black Cat gets the full Fort Raphael treatment and the added audio touches serve to fully deliver the horror! This is a bite-sized piece of Poe, but it's a good one. If you're a cat owner or cat lover especially, you'll understand exactly how the tale could end the way it does. Narrator Theis dives deep into the energy of the story and the misery of the teller of the tale. We're left shaking our heads at the twists and turns of the human mind -- and of Poe's for bringing this story to us. Highly recommended!

The sound effects

Twisted tale the makes the animal lover in me cringe. Poe knows where to strike his reader. I loved it. Thee sound effects of the wailing cat gave me the chills.

Why Do Some People Do Evil?

This short horror story seems to be about this subject. It's a very difficult story, and might be disturbing to some listeners, but I recommend it if you can stomach it.

The performance is excellent and very suited to Edgar Allan Poe. Having tried some of the other versions of this audiobook on Audible, I recommend this one.

Good one!

I had never been big on Edgar Allen Poe stories, though I have read a few and found some of them interesting. I had not heard this one, it was good! Narration is good! I feel like this is a time when a story should be told and not shown, that is what was done with background noise, making the story more alive.

Voice performance annoyed me

Story is fine but I felt the reader read it almost as he is standing in a theatre and trying to reach the back row. I also felt it was read too fast. I wanted to listen to this before bed as an atmospheric cozy chiller but I felt standing in front one of those paperboys in the street shouting "This just in!".
This performance is more suitable for a car drive while listening, but not to relax too.
