Classic Horror Short Stories

De: H. P. Lovecraft, M. R. James, Edgar Allan Poe, Saki

Narrado por: Doug Bradley, Jeffery Combs

This triumphant final volume of Spinechillers begins with Doug Bradley's personal guide to the writers and the history of the stories. M. R. James' classic "Number 13" starts off this volume with a mystery about a disappearing and reappearing hotel room, can you guess the room number? Story two is the tale of a cat that can not only talk, but spills secrets that should have been truly left behind. Next, we present one of the most famous stories by H. P. Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu".

Doug transports you into Lovecraft's world of indescribable horror, accompanied by Alistair Lock's outstanding orchestral score. Edgar Allan Poe's well-known allegory on our mortality, "The Masque of the Red Death", follows. Then Jeffrey Combs reads the concluding part of Lovecraft's Herbert West: Reanimator series, "The Tomb Legions". Finishing up Volume 13 is Poe's 1843-penned poem "The Conqueror Worm".

Doug Bradley is a wonderful narrator and talent

His passion and appreciation for the material is evident. Listening to him read these classics can make you feel that we’ve lost something, there are only pale imitations of this quality today and yet many of these authors were contemporaries or near contemporaries. Something is happening to language, it’s being reduced. What these authors are able to convey in words and immediacy is lost in the kitschy and often plastic Norman Rockwell characters of Stephen King for instance. Doug brings these narratives and the feel of the period they were written to life.
