Poe...the Shakespeare of the Macabre...and Vincent Price the most suitable Reader. William s Burroughs recitation of "The Masque of the Red Death" comes a close second for me.
There is so much beauty and devotion oozing from every single inflection made by Price. Such an extraordinary man and a phenomenal narrator. He and Cristopher Lee have interpreted the works of Edgar Allan Poe beyond perfection.
@@toprak3479 I remember that one, it was an elaborate response, I wasn't addressing myself so it's not pretentius. Now, either YT is playing tricks on me, or the comment I responded to is no more.
One of my favourite readings by Vincent, so full of passion & panic. He has an incredible knack for interpreting the emotions of Edgar's stories, he draws you into the tale with such conviction. Thanks to both for this work of art.
Simply phenomenal in terms of dramatic impact and lugubriousness - at one point VP got so carried away that he read "energenetic" which makes it even more evocative, methinks.
It reminds me of the dark and creepy castle I grew up in. Okay, it was more of a Gothic ruin of a castle but it was still a castle. As a child I played among the crumbling ramparts in the shade of the twisted and gnarled oaks. The faint traces of shadows climbing the walls as the days wore on. And then my nurse would call me in to have my bowl of gruel and a small goblet of wine from the cask. What happy days they were. Until the horror happened. But that's another story.
Of course i love it, but still Poe is more important for me than Vincent Price, so in 5:25 one sentence was lost: the same scarcely perceptible tendency to the aquiline
VP was arguably the greatest voices (of Shakespearean training and voice) of the macabre genre. Non better!! Of course, other than EAP himself. I wonder what EAP's voice sounded like. RIP big guys!!
No one does Poe better than the late great Vincent Price
+David Jensen
true =)
Jimmy X Rose thanks for the correction. I have fixed it now :-)
David Jensen and sir Christopher Lee
garreth byrne not really. Lee was great but isn't really the voice of Poe
David Jensen i do prefer Vincent poe being american would sound less that of a english noble man
This is a masterpiece of reading but I wish someone would remaster the audio and adjust the drastic volume changes.
I aggree, but it kinda adds to the vibes
What else is better than listening to Vincent price reading Gothic and ghost stories in bed at night! Hahaha! Love it

Vincent Price !!! it´s a pleasure listen to your voice !!! a masterpiece !!!!

Vincent Price - what a magnificent reader!!
It takes a deep disdain for culture to thumb this down. Apart from the wonderful reading, credits to Poe, wonderful wordsmith.
what do you mean by disdain for culture
@Samuel Black A comment not for the average person, surely not from an average person
@@paradisebeyond1982 That reply was very, very pretentious.

Thank you, Vincent Price, for reading my all-time favorite tale written by Edgar Allan Poe. You were stolen from us too soon.
Amazing!! Thank you for uploading. I listened while reading along
19:11 is The Conqueror Worm for those interested.
Unbeatable! Picture is a perfect touch. Thank you!!
This story is so relaxing it makes me want to sleep.
On the opposite, it's a pretty unnerving story. The sleep inducing effect is likely to be credited to Vincent Price's soft voice.
Most excellent poem and reading 📚.
Now this is admiration and reverence of the beauty of a woman only seen once by me over my living years.
I am from România and i am in Love with Allan’s misterious mind.
such a great narrator - so easy to read along

Price is the perfect narrator for Poe!
Masterpiece.
+cc92103 You summed this up perfectly. A masterpiece.

POV: You're the protagonist of a gothic novel
A master of Horror Vincent Price♡
Poe & Price are Perfection
This is perfection ❤
fine and nobel lecture.
I love Vincent price
Me as well! And Edgar Allan Poe stories glad I found them!!
Thank for sharing the master at work ❤
Holy fucking shit. My favorite Poe story by Vincent god-damned Price. Amazing.
WonderFULL!!!
Fantastic ! !
this was really cool i loved it so much
Vincent Price is the GOAT
Great
You know you're reading Poe when he spends 6 pages telling you just how hot his girl is.
I was thinking…oh to be the girl that is described like this! Wow!
Poe was evidently quite fond of consonance.
Of course i love it, but still Poe is more important for me than Vincent Price, so in 5:25 one sentence was lost: the same scarcely perceptible tendency to the aquiline
Thank you. This is the comment I was looking for.
The master.....at work!
3:59 is the reference point.
Its great
SINSEISTER
On
Your

with VINCENT PRICE
tell you the
Story
AWESOME.
Poe would have loved this narration from Price
I always loved Pete wentz from my chemical poemance
Barbara Steele should have played Ligeia in a Bava-helmed adaptation.
Wish i could understand this😂😕
this is all i want
When was this recorded?
JPLOWMAN2 In an Ancient time whose wonders will never be seen again.
Poe is a drunk man thats it.
and when the drunk men speaks, it is the truth that came out.
Opium in alcohol. Deadly!
20:58
Why not
A famous story, but not Poe's best work.
Still my favorite
This comment, however, is your finest writing.
@@aaron2709 Commenting on a TH-cam video is not great literature, to be sure. But then, what then shall we say of commenting on a comment?
@@halsawyer9930This one isn't Sawyer's best work.
@@aaron2709 But, Sawyer's work receives more commentary than Poe's work; at least from Aaron.
Dostoyevsky was influenced by Poe
Peerless
