Anna Bell Reads
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 30 มี.ค. 2020
Classic literature audiobooks, read aloud before discussion and analysis about what we've read, featuring historical background information on the authors and their lives. All audiobooks read by Anna Bell, in an aim to make these enduring stories more accessible in all senses.
My intent is to make these readings like a friend reading their favorite book to you, and discussing it a little too. Readings aren't intended to be quite as polished as formal audiobooks -- editing out the same things I do for ACX would make the live video aspect awkward.
I do take requests, but all works read are in the Public Domain.

A Christmas Party that Prevented a Split in the Church, by Margaret Black
มุมมอง 2821 วันที่ผ่านมา
This is a cute classic literature story of a small town church with a new pastor and a lot of marriageable young ladies, and a Christmas party which may either form a stronger community, or split it apart. This story was deeply interesting to me because of the historical context. Margaret Black was the womens' columnist at The Afro-American. This was a popular seasonal short story written for t...
A Strange Christmas Game by Charlotte Riddell
มุมมอง 68หลายเดือนก่อน
It's Christmas time, and what better way to celebrate than read a whole bunch of ghost stories! Ah, Victorians. Charlotte Riddell was known as a writer in her own time, but she also knew that writing under her husband's initials would sometimes be the better move, as with the initial publication of this story. I saw someone say that a tradition is just peer pressure from dead people and it's re...
Turkeys Turning the Tables, by W D Howells
มุมมอง 36หลายเดือนก่อน
We're getting cozy and reading a very sweet story together, by W D Howells. Turkeys Turning The Tables was initially published in a wholesome short story compilation, where each story is "told" by a father to his daughter, who cannot stop interrupting! This story is for Thanksgiving, so we'll just pretend that I remembered to upload it last week. 📘📚📘📚📘 Turkeys Turning the Tables (Christmas Ever...
The Pit and the Pendulum || read aloud audiobook
มุมมอง 972 หลายเดือนก่อน
The Pit and the Pendulum by Edgar Allan Poe is one of those classic horror stories everyone knows and it not only inspires a ton of pop culture, but also inspires your nightmares tonight. You're welcome! While this story loves to play on very visceral torture methods, oddly, one of the things about this story I found the most chilling is the very last line. Let me know if you agree! 📘📚📘📚📘 The P...
Extracts from Adam's Diary, by Mark Twain || History and Read Aloud
มุมมอง 632 หลายเดือนก่อน
Extracts from Adam's Diary by Mark Twain is an excellent work to show the use of voice, and satire, much like all Mark Twain's writing. He's a classic old chestnut for a reason, folks. We read Eve's Diary a while back, and contrasting the two works is an excellent exercise. Part of that is noting the historical context of both. While Eve's Diary was written after his wife's death, perhaps in tr...

Rebecca is going to get her niece from a sleepy little town in order to board her and finish her upbringing.

The Devil and Tom Walker by Washington Irving, a live (ish) reading
มุมมอง 953 หลายเดือนก่อน
The Devil and Tom Walker is a gothic masterpiece by one of the early masters of classic scary short stories, Washington Irving. Tom Walker makes a deal with the Devil. I always enjoy stories that are wrapped up in the sin of usury prior to like, 1960. It seems so quaint when the devil proposes the wickedness in charging a whopping 2% interest on a loan. Just adorable. #halloweenstories #audiobo...
Bram Stoker's The Judge's House, a scary classic short story
มุมมอง 4263 หลายเดือนก่อน
The Judge's House is considered one of the best, scariest short stories in classic literature, which isn't too surprising, since it was written by Bram Stoker. You know, the Dracula guy? The slow build and foreshadowing, and just the creepy vibe, really sells this one. 📘📚📘📚📘 The Judge's House ebook: americanliterature.com/author/bram-stoker/short-story/the-judges-house/ Bram Stoker biography: w...
The Apparition, by Guy de Maupassant || a scary classic short story reading
มุมมอง 1703 หลายเดือนก่อน
The Apparition is the first scary story we're reading this Halloween season. Guy de Maupassant's ghost has less menace than some of the things that go bump in the night, but he definitely captures some spine-tingling frisson. 📘📚📘📚📘 The Apparition ebook: americanliterature.com/author/guy-de-maupassant/short-story/the-apparition/ Guy de Maupassant biography: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_de_Maupassan...
