Here is a fun (and free) way to get into the Halloween spirit! I listen to Mythos related podcasts and audio at my day job to maximize my prep time for writing the Necronomicon. Sometimes that means listening to less-than-stellar stories or recordings.

So this was a truly wonderful surprise today. That Poe was a hell of a wordsmith, and Basil and Vincent turned in fantastic readings. Enjoy!

Record label Caedmon Audio specialized in spoken-word recordings, pairing great literary works with great actors. They got James Mason to read the poetry of Robert Browning, multi-Oscar winner Walter Brennan to read the works of Mark Twain and Sir Laurence Olivier to read Winston Churchill.
