Publisher's summary

It was the eye. The dull, sightless, vulture's eye that shredded his final nerve. But the murder was done so carefully, so perfectly, that only one thing could reveal the whereabouts of the body. B. J. Harrison gives a masterful reading of the famous murder that wouldn't keep quiet. This audiobook was the #3 best-selling audiobook in 2008 at the iTunes Music Store!

A classic brought to life

I've heard several stories read by BJ Harrison. His narration isn't always my cup of tea but it's evident that he's a master of his craft. That said, this is probably my favorite reading of his so far. He breathes the needed insanity into this tale of which is the grandfather of obsession and monomania horror stories.

So worth the money

I will not be deleting this off of my app. It is that good. The character is brought to life in a way that awakens the story for you all over again.

Amazing

I loved the voice acting. I got chills as the man started to become unhinged. Such an exciting story.

THE VULTURE EYE

THE BEATING OF HIS HIDEOUS HEART
This has always been my favorite Poe tale. I remember first reading it around the age of eight. It is written with such clarity, that you can't help but feel you are there. This may be the best fifteen minutes you can spend listening.

Harrison does a splendid job. He reads about 40 of these classic tales and none of his voices sound alike.

Happy Halloween!!
