Tales of Mystery & Horror by Edgar Allan Poe, read by Christopher Lee

I had this on cassette as a child and listened on my player in bed hidden under the covers. Thanks for the bed time stories Mr Lee😊

How have I not discovered this before now 😲

Scary story nothing more. Will you read it? Never more

This is phenomenal. Im not a Poe sycophant but this is incredibly engrossing. Fuck me Christopher Lee rules.

The boy in “A Haunting in Venice” was reading this book, great film, fun to revisit these classics

Thank you so much for uploading this! I had this as a double cassette tape back in my childhood.

I will never say the word orangutan as I once did ever again, and I am so grateful for it

This is one of the finest and indeed supreme readings of the great Edgar Allan Poe that I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. And the fact that I’m receiving this treasure for free is such a blessing.

Such gravitas. Christopher Lee puts other readings to shame with this

Love Edgar Allen Poe

sir lee did a heavy metal album............................ great singing

so sick

He could read a grocery list and it’d be awesome

His voice seems as though it were founded out of the depths of a deep cavern. Him reading Shakespeare would be something else!

Thank you for sharing.

Something's not right with the like to dislike ratio.

Could it be that The Raven Is the reincarnated spirit of Lenore??? 🧐🤔🙄

Many agree -- every child learns to appreciate great literature, the vast enigma figuring life, when happily, luckily, discovering Poe.

Sir, Sir Chris, I love Old Buildings and stories of old entities and the atmosphere of the place. Sir, I dare you to spend the night
in the laundry in Ganges. That is where the Green Gilby lives.

This is just amazing, can't buy it but man you are doing his legacy a great service, thank you and thanks Christopher.

Nobody has a voice like the master and legend. The late Sir Christopher Lee. Such talent that can never be replaced. Ever.

👍😏💚💭
!

Excellent audio book. Thanks for sharing these Poe Classics read by Christopher Lee. A great man of exceptional talents.

Christopher Lee the horror legend! 🎃

Browsed to find this. Knew that Lee would be worth the effort. Read all the Poe as a child and again and again over the years. A wonderful writer who embraced his shadow and revealed that we all have one long before anyone heard of Freud orJung. A subtle champion of the disinherited and the despised. He was deeply acquainted with cruelty, enjoyed a brief respite of kindness with his young wife who was then taken brutally by poverty and disease. And then he died a painful death! The ultimate triumph his alone, however. None remember his detractors. Whatever were their birthright stature, wealth or faith, the afterlife is his! There’s justice in that and a certain consolation.

I pretend count dooku is lecturing me in a good way, rip legend man

his voice is magic, instantly transports one to another world!

If I had a nickel every time an Orang-utan was mentioned in separate stories I would have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

Such a great actor and beautiful voice. Remains me to Benedict Cumberbatch.

Edgar Allen Poe captures every single articulate notion and adjective spot on.

He was born to play in horror movies the face the voice was perfect for this genre

Holy shit. I never cared much for The Raven but his reading was magnificent??? I wish i could give him an award for it. The levels make me want to go back into theatre lol

Thanks so much for this

iuuuu

I miss you, dear Sir.

Edgar Allan Poe: "orangutans exist! And there scary as hell!"

Currently there are 23 card-carrying members of the communist party in the CIA.

He likes orangutans

Poe loves those orangutans

I sense Count Dooku

When I was a kid, I tried to be a good goth girl and love Poe, but it's really boring unless read aloud. Preferably by Christopher Lee!

As a disease of lesions upon the wasting flesh, leaving with us in its vellum ulcer of desire, death, and incestuous incubation one solemn memory of that overwhelmingly importunate yet heavy, noir, and languourous season of lust-softest maturity-and most sweet dissolution;-love doth the condemned soul move.
From Viaticum short story in book.

Defeat, my Defeat, my shining sword and shield,
In your eyes I have read
That to be enthroned is to be enslaved,
And to be understood is to be leveled down,
And to be grasped is but to reach one’s fullness
And like a ripe fruit to fall and be consumed.

“Large corpulent oily men...” No one lays on the adjective like Poe!

Lee could read ikea instuctions in danish and it would sound amazing

Hails Christopher Lee!!!

Stunning!
