About the Author

Edgar Allan Poe (1809-49) was born in Boston and orphaned at an early age. Taken in by a couple from Richmond, Virginia, he spent a semester at the University of Virginia but could not afford to stay longer. After joining the Army and matriculating as a cadet, he started his literary career with the anonymous publication of Tamerlane and Other Poems, before working as a literary critic. His life was dotted with scandals, such as purposefully getting himself court-martialled to ensure dismissal from the Army, being discharged from his job at the Southern Literary Messenger in Richmond after being found drunk by his boss, and secretly marrying his thirteen-year-old cousin Virginia (listed twenty-one on the marriage certificate). His work took him to both New York City and Baltimore, where he died at the age of forty, two years after Virginia.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Author, poet, and literary critic, Edgar Allan Poe is credited with pioneering the short story genre, inventing detective fiction, and contributing to the development of science fiction. However, Poe is best known for his works of the macabre, including such infamous titles as The Raven, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, Lenore, and The Fall of the House of Usher. Part of the American Romantic Movement, Poe was one of the first writers to make his living exclusively through his writing, working for literary journals and becoming known as a literary critic. His works have been widely adapted in film. Edgar Allan Poe died of a mysterious illness in 1849 at the age of 40.

5.0 out of 5 stars Winifred Phillips has the best voice for this story
Reviewed in the United States on 29 July 2024

I searched far and wide to get a copy of this tape because I really love the reader's voice, tone, cadence and clarity for this particular story. No other reader compares. I originally heard this version over 23 years ago, and wore out the tape. Unfortunately for me, the cassette tape player I bought to listen to this tape ruined several inches of the tape and broke it off on the inside of the cassette upon first play, so I am still not able to listen to it, and have to find another copy or try to get the tape fixed. This is not the tape's fault, so it still deserves 5 stars for being brand new in an unopened package since the late 90s, it had no damage to start with, the parts all worked fine before I put it in the player.
