GREATEST HORROR RECORD SERIES OF ALL TIME!

Talented actors Martin Donegan and Ugo Toppo
share the honors and glory of this monumental
project
The Recording of the Complete Stories
of Edgar Allan Poe! The project is still going
on, and already there are 8 masterful records
in six single albums and one double album; each
read with skill, precision, and a sure sense of
nerve-numbing terror. Each reading is so well
done, that the horrible word pictures of Poe's
diseased psyche seem to materialize before your
eyes: rotting castles, scurrying rat-things, the
walking-dead in their pale shrouds seem to vibrate in the air as the words of the world's
greatest macabre storyteller ripple the ether!
