Vinyl for the Dark Soul: Why Spoken Word Records Deserve a Spot on Your Shelf

Some people put on music to fill the silence.
But for others—those drawn to the eerie, the poetic, the slow unraveling of words—spoken word records offer something far more immersive.

There’s something haunting about hearing Edgar Allan Poe read aloud, his tales pressed into vinyl and echoed through a dimly lit room. It’s more than background noise—it’s a full atmosphere.

🕯️ Why Spoken Word Feels So Different

When you listen to a poem or story spoken aloud, it bypasses the eyes and goes straight to the spine.
You feel each word. You hear the pauses, the trembling, the weight of silence in between.

It’s especially powerful with Poe’s works—where rhythm and dread dance so closely together.

Our limited-edition "Fog of Madness" vinyl brings these moments to life. Pressed on 180-gram clear with black smoke, it’s as beautiful to look at as it is to hear.

🎧 Make It Part of Your Ritual

Spoken word records aren’t just for literary nerds (though we love those too). They’re perfect for:

• Night reading sessions

• Creative writing atmospheres

• Late-night journaling

• Winding down with something a little darker

Put on a record, dim the lights, light a candle, and let the story unfold around you. No screen. No distractions. Just voice and vinyl.

🐦⬛ Final Thoughts

Spoken word is timeless because it reminds us of the oldest way we told stories—out loud, in low light, when the world went quiet.
If you’ve never tried it, let Poe be your first.

Start with "The Fog of Madness".
Let it spin. Let it settle. Let it haunt.
