Christopher Lee Reads Edgar Allan Poe - Tales Of Horror
Review by Pedro Livio Cedeño
Tales of Horror, the album featuring Christopher Lee reading Edgar Allan Poe, is a spine-tingling experience that will leave listeners on the edge of their seats. Lee's deep, commanding voice brings Poe's classic tales to life in a way that is both haunting and captivating.
The album includes several of Poe's most famous works, such as "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Raven," and "The Pit and the Pendulum," as well as lesser-known stories like "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar" and "The Masque of the Red Death." Lee's narration is accompanied by eerie sound effects and atmospheric music, which add to the overall sense of dread and unease.
Fans of horror literature will appreciate the attention to detail given to Poe's works, and Lee's performance is a masterclass in storytelling. His voice is both ominous and alluring, drawing listeners into the macabre world of Poe's imagination.

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.

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.
