Between them, they perform 20 of Poe's chilling stories and poems, creating an unforgettably intense listening experience.

(additional info on Poe and Actors follow).
Contains the DDD symbol on the bottom of the packaging. Appears to be a reissue of these Basil Rathbone read releases: http://www.discogs.com/release/672933 and http://www.discogs.com/release/669518
When tracks are run through spectral analysis results yield very low frequency range, no doubt due to the age of the recordings and their nature, although it is unfortunate. The CDs are also mastered at a an incredibly low volume.
Track lengths are given as they appear on the album art, actual track lengths may vary.
