Poe!

Poe! is a deliciously gripping sampling of the mad imagination of 19th century gothic master of horror and suspense, murder and mayhem, Edgar Allan Poe. The creepy, breathtaking, and soulful classic tales include: ¿The Masque of the Red Death,¿ the terrifying and ironic story of a nobleman who attempts to seal himself and his friends away from a terrible plague raging outside, performed by Fionnula Flanagan (Transamerica); ¿The Pit and the Pendulum,¿ a hair-raising first-person account of a man in a torture chamber during the Spanish Inquisition, performed to a fare-thee-well by Stephen Lang (Avatar); ¿The Black Cat,¿ in which a man¿s dead pet comes back to haunt him, performed by Tony winner Rene Auberjonois (Boston Legal). Plus there are dreamy, mesmerizing and haunting readings of Poe¿s wonderfully-atmospheric best-loved poems, ¿The Bells,¿ ¿The Raven¿ and ¿Annabel Lee.¿
