Christopher Lee (The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Count Dracula) is the perfect host for this series of short stories from Edgar Allan Poe. Universally known as the "Master of the Macabre," Poe set the standard for classic horror tales with grotesque imagery and superb plots. Full of untimely deaths, mutilation, fear, claustrophobia, agony and revenge, Poe's nightmarish visions and tortured soul vividly emerge in these dramatizations.

Includes: The Fall of the House of Usher, The Oval Portrait, Berenice, The Black Cat, Ligeia, The Cask of Amontillado, Mr. Valdemar, The Tell-Tale Heart, Morella, The Pit and the Pendulum and The Masque of the Red Death, Parts One & Two.
