I hope you enjoy this rendition of one of Poe's most loved works! In addition to the small music bits I composed for it, I also borrowed heavily from Georg Philipp Telemann's Concerto in D major, which you can hear in its entirety here: musopen.org/music/2706/georg-... Thank you all for your continued support!

“And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.” What a chilling quote! Poe was really one of the best authors.

I cant be the only one here relating this to corona 🤣

@chaosreigns7386 3 года назад

sorry broski, but that's an unrelatable statement... corona is cold compared to this fiendish affliction...given the choice of the two, 100% of people would willingly choose the Kung-flu over Ebola Hæmorrhagic Fever...hands down... anyone can try and disprove this with the difficulty breathing, fever, yadda yadda blah blah blah...fact is, corona is survivable, granted you're relatively healthy and don't have an immunity disorder or elderly... Ebola, however, don't matter how healthy you are, if its contracted you are in all respects, Fuck'd...the pain is so bad (while you bleed and puss out of all your pores and holes) that your body tries to fall into unconsciousness, however the neurological effects of this causes you to spasm and seize uncontrollably, which in turn causes bruising that prevents the blood from leaking out so it swells untill it "unzips" in clean lacerations as if it were cut with a scapel...after that, your skin and fatty tissues sluff off like wet tissue paper...and this goes on for hours...you finally die from either over heating and being "cooked" from the inside or your seizure causes you to snap your spine... so yeah... sweet dreams

I absolutely hated English class in high school but I loved 12th grade English because half of all of our projects involved at Edgar Allan Poe he is my favorite book writer that I know my name the books that got me into reading was actually The Dark Bane Trilogy of Star Wars but I have no idea who the author was of those books but that was the first book that I read that I felt like I was in the story I was in my early twenties😂

@emmalfal 8 месяцев назад

Boy, that's nicely read. I can almost never listen to these stories in audio form because the cadence seems all wrong (I realize that's subjective) or the voice just doesn't put me in mind of a great Poe story. But this reading had it all and so I'm subscribed for further Halloween listening. Really great stuff.
