1. Tales of Terror (Unabridged)
Edgar Allan Poe, the master of terror, wrote some of literature's most entertaining and
influential short stories, works that invented or anticipated modern detective novels,
science fiction, and the horror genre. Tales of Terror collects nine of Poe's best-loved
stories, all performed in chilling, highly dramatic readings by Jack Foreman. This
collection includes such classics as "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Pit and the
Pendulum," "The Fall of the House of Usher," and what many consider his
masterpiece, "The Murders in the Rue Morgue." This last tale introduces literature's
first great detective, Monsieur Dupin, a character who inspired Sherlock Holmes and
generations of other famous fictional sleuths. Filled with suspense, subtle humor, and
shocking imagery, Tales of Terror presents Poe at his best.
