A Haunting Journey Through Poe’s Darkest Works

This exclusive release includes six of Poe’s most enduring tales and poems—each chosen to showcase the full range of his genius: madness, melancholy, beauty, terror, and the thin line between reality and nightmare.

Side One

• The Tell-Tale Heart
A feverish descent into paranoia and guilt. Hear the beating heart grow louder… and louder.

• The Raven
The ultimate gothic masterpiece. A hypnotic, sorrow-soaked encounter with the supernatural.

• Annabel Lee
A haunting love poem wrapped in tragedy, longing, and the cold winds of the sea.

• A Dream Within a Dream
Poe’s existential meditation on time, illusion, and the fragile nature of perception.

Side Two

• The Cask of Amontillado
A chilling tale of revenge, deception, and the horror of being trapped with one’s fate.

• The Masque of the Red Death
A vivid allegory of death’s inevitability—written with Poe’s signature decadence and dread.

Each performance is carefully delivered to draw out the emotion, rhythm, and atmospheric power that made Poe one of history’s most influential writers. On cassette, the storytelling takes on a raw, analog authenticity that digital formats simply cannot replicate.
