The Pit and the Pendulum Audiobook

" The Pit and the Pendulum tells a tale of torments endurd by a prisoner, this volume also includes other tales such as, The Black Cat and The Tell-Tale Heart. "

" Read this probably with some other Poe stories(The Telltale Heart, The Fall of the House of Usher)back in the 60's. Maybe for prep school English class. I can still hear the swoosh of the blade. Date read is approximate. "

" Nice introduction to classic horror/Poe. "

" still a book I think a lot of and this is many years after I read it. "

" Welcome to the perfectly deranged mind of Edgar Allan Poe as you are walked through a man's death sentence "

" I thought this one was the best of the 3 Poe stories on the 1001 Books you must read before you die list. It really makes you feel like you are in the shoes of the narrator. It also has a great ending. Altogether a fabulous read. "

" "The room had been square. I saw that two of its iron angles were now acute and two, consequently, obtuse. In an instant the apartment had shifted it's form into that of a lozenge." "

" I read this for school. It was actually kinda interesting. Poe is definitely Gothic..lol. "

" This was amazing. It contains something strange that had added to the book's beauty. "

" This is a genius story that you can't simply forget. "

" Poe is not my favorite author, and this story creeps me out big time. "

" A classic in the gothic-horror genre for a reason, this story never fails to send chills up my spine. "

" One of my favorite Poe stories. "

" I have loved Edgar Allen Poe since High School. Love the creepy of it! "

" Great from cover to cover. You can't help but keep reading to the end to find out if the man is actually going to be killed because he keeps escaping from his sentence to death. "

" one of the most amazing Poe's tales "

" the story gives you chills down your spine. this is what nightmares are made of. moreover, try reading this while you are having fever. that's one complete experience i would not forget, ever. "

" Not as terrifying as I had hoped. "

" A great short story, but what the hell was up with that ending? "

" Read Poe when I was about 16 during my dark goth period (even tho i didn't dress goth inside I was) "

" Took me a while to get into it, and by the time I had it ended (somewhat anticlimactically). Great writing though. "

" Great stories don't have to be long. Poe does an excellent job maintaining mystery and suspense in this short story. "

" A nice short story. Good time pass! "

" this is very interesting adventure story "

" One of my Poe favorites "

" A really nice, interesting story. I expected some kind of terror, after all, it <strong>is</strong> E.A. Poe, but I still wasn´t disappointed. "

" Excelentes cuentos de un clasico del horror. <br/> <br/>Great tales from a clasic of horror. "

" An unbelievable mysterious adventure,which finally turns out that in fact, has nothing to do with the gold bug! "

" Not one of Poe's better stories, it is a mystery of sorts, in that it describes how someone solves a puzzle, but it's mostly about coincidence and about a man doing seemingly crazy things with only the end explanation putting it into context. "

" I fell in love with Poe as a teen, and still find him utterly perfect in his genre. "

" How can anyone not love part crazy person story, part mystery, part pirate story/gold hunt? Great story. Still love it even though I had not read it in years. "

" Para todos los amantes del Suspenso no tanto del terror, mas bien relatos que te toenen a la espectativa de que algo extraño sucederá "
