The Raven is without a doubt my favourite Poe.
What I can’t decide on, is my favourite reading of it. For years it has been the Vincent Price one, despite the bad quality of the video. But there’s a lot to be said about Christopher Lee’s eerie reading too.
So treat yourself to a pre-halloween midnight visit from the mysterious raven. Close the curtains, light a candle and enjoy one of these videos, or even both.
The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe was first published in January 1845.
I found this 1987 collection of Poe’s short stories in a charity shop many moons ago. It introduced me to a few stories that I’d never read before such as The Fall of the House of Usher and Landor’s Cottage.
What’s your favourite Poe?

“The Tell-Tale Heart” gets me every time as does “The Masque of the Red Death”. I know what is going to happen in both cases but I still get affected.
Me too! They never get old. Amazing suspense.
