The Fall of the House of Usher & The Pit and the Pendulum Audiobook (Unabridged)

" If you want to read a short story or a poem from Edgar Allan Poe just buy this book ussually it is very cheap. "

" I absolutely love the short stories and poems of Edgar Allan Poe! Yes, they are suspenseful, insane, depressing, and sound like the works of a madman, but they have unbelievable depth and truth. I feel as though I am right in the story. I may have enjoyed these stories so much because they are quite different from the norm. "

" Edgar allan poe, the name itself is a legend. This fenomunal guy doesn't need an introduction, I have a love affair with his stories and poems, everything he wrote was genius and is true literature "

" My favorite poet and writer as a child and still I read his stuff over and over! "

" I used to be transfixed by all of Poe's short stories. I'm not as passionate about them now but they are still as chilling as ever. They don't have the gore like most of the horror stories now but are every bit as scary. "

" Poe is a brilliant poet, although some of his short stories and poems are quite morbid. They're very interesting, and well written. I really wish that he hadn't died so early in his life, because his poetry was a burst of creative genius. "

" I love Edgar Allen Poe's writing but by the time I finish this I'll be 80 >_< "

" My favorite of all time. Poe is incredible. "

" One of my all time favorite authors! "

" quote the raven, nevermore. Love that Poe. Faves: Ullalume, Annabel Lee and, of course, The Raven -- great rhyme scheme and meter choice. "

" I've read several of Poe's stories with my 9th and 8th grade students. The language is a bit advanced but they love the twisted endings. Poe is creepy and odd and so much fun to read! "

" There's nothing like Poe to chill your bones. He's an amazing writer and most of his poems totally freak me out...which is a good thing. I had to read some of his work in school, and it wasn't even like homework, but more like fun. "

" I read Poe in grade school and I've always loved all his short stories and poems. I still love reading them from time to time. He was a deep writer and I always tune them in to my emotions. Love him! "

" Although I can appreciate his literary skill. His work gives me nightmares. "

" I had this book when I was a teenager, and it hooked me on gothic horror ever since. Beautifully written and macabre. Modern horror is so LAME compared to this! Pass me the absinthe, I'll have what he's having! "

" An amazing collection of the finest works of one of America's greatest authors. Often unheralded and definately underrated, Poe is a master and creator of several genres. "

" I love Poe more than any other American author. I've read the complete works at least once and I admire the complete flexibility of his writing style. This is a great book for anyone who loves some darkness in what they read, or a great mystery story. "

" When I was given this book, I had already read much of Poe's work and was a huge fan. This book spent years on my bedside table for easy access whenever I felt the urge to read it. I've read it cover to cover and absolutely love it. "

" I have read some of the stories and have enjoyed the Pit and the Pendulum, the Tell-tale heart, the cask of amontialldo, fall of the house of usher etc. Much enjoyed! Please try it out! "

" Not many words to discribe my depth of love for Poe's writings! "

" How can you not love the brooding Poe!? "

" I read this every year before Halloween. I usually re-read a favorite or two, and as many more previously unread stories that I can fit in. You can't go wrong with Poe! "

" Great stuff in Poe, but reading one after the other seems to erode some of the effectiveness. Sample occasionally, rather than in one sitting. "

" cool! it is difficult to make me feel fear through a book. Poe knew how. And even when he doesn't scare the shit out of me, he has the hability of making me pround of his clever mind. "

" Edgar Allan Poe- dark, witty, a little bit twisted, and above all, brilliant. The only recommendation I would give is to really try and get the edition that's illustrated by Harry Clarke. Their styles lend really well toward one other and the effect is something special. "

" He's the master in my humble opinion. "

" I love Edgar Allan Poe. "

" I love Edgar Allen Poe and having all of his work in one book is incredible. Sadly, I don't own this one though I've read it. I will definitely be adding it to my collection. "

" Mine was another hardcover edition. "

" Another great Poe, I love it when kids at school start reading Poe and they light up with understanding. Horror is a favorite, but Poe is the master. "

" The Fall of the House of Usher is a wonderfully, fascinating and horrifying tale, in my opinion one of Edgar Allan Poe's best works. "

" A chilling story full of charecters with enough background information in such a short story. Now my reviews are getting better. :) Also I mean the real one not the short one in class "

" I really liked the spookiness of it all. "

" This is simply what every writer should aspire to do, make every word count! "

" Some of the short stories were interesting but most of the book was redundant so clearly I am not a Poe fan! "

" I love, love, loved this story. It was a little difficult to read at times and I even had to read over a couple sections more than once to fully understand what was going on. But Poe is proving to be one of my favorite writers--I love the twists he throws in at the very last minute!! :) "

" don't you wonder what Poe was like at parties? "

" liked it but didnt love it. its basically the end of an heritage immortalized in/by a house. "

" Story about a man goes to visit his creepy sick boyhood friend in his decaying mansion where he lives with his sickly sister. Someone told me this was one of Poe's best stories. It was good but I wouldn't say the best. It didn't fail to spook me out but leading up to it was very slow. "

" Very Creepy - that's why we love it! "
