I’m about to be snug as a mf bug in a rug listening to this tonight. Happy Halloween Rummy 🧡 🖤

Funny thing, when I saw the chatter about the show I picked up a kindle copy to read before watching. So I’m ready to read along with you before watching. Thanks for recording this, it’ll be nice to have your bonus narration! 😍 Happy Halloween 🎃

Perfect timing 🥰 I'm spending Halloween at home so I'm about to get cozy and give it a listen ❤️

Elle Noir

This is the perfect Halloween bedtime story. 🎃 Hope you've had a great one

Angelica

Yay! I’ve been meaning to reread it before I watch the show. It’s been almost 20 years.

Ooo! Local lore states that Poe wrote The Raven near where I live. Can’t wait to listen! Hope you and kitty had a cozy Halloween 🎃 🐈‍⬛

I really enjoyed the show, can’t wait to listen! Happy Halloween 🎃 🖤

Got my blanket, popcorn and book, let story time begin!

I hope it doesn't sound weird but ...I love your brain...your passion for literature really shines through, and in fact you have inspired me to start reading.. actual books again! I've just purchased a collection short spooky gothic stories. When I listen to you read your voice sparks my imagination and I can lose myself in the story. Thank you Rum for sharing your passions. ❤️

I can’t wait until I have time to listen! I love Poe and really enjoyed the new Flanagan show, binged it all in two days before I started my new job. I love your story time posts, you seem to have grabbed your choices directly from my brain! ❤️

Edgar Allen Poe is my dads favorite poet and I hate that guy but knowing you appreciate Poe might help me reassociate his works and maybe like them haha 💕. Your appreciation for literature is honestly so refreshing and lovely

Dollface

This was excellent!!! I really love that you don’t edit out any fumbles you make when you are reading, it makes it less like listening to an audiobook and more like actually being next to someone who is reading aloud; that is a big part of the charm of your story times! It’s also why I find it’s so hard to get someone to read aloud to you because they are worried about messing up, but being read to is such an intimate and sexy experience, even when someone isn’t reading you erotica, perfection isn’t the point. Thank you as always for your service!

Aw that's always a hard thing. I have a pretty strained relationship with my dad so I feel like I can empathize with that. That being said his writing is really interesting, I like how psychological it can be especially. Maybe listening to someone read it aloud like this might help reframe it a bit like you were saying!

rumncokeva

Aww thank you! I never really thought that those little mistakes might make it more appealing like that. I do edit out some of the bigger ones occasionally, or sometimes when I just have to burp lmao. I totally agree with you though!! I think reading something aloud to someone else is really fun and intimate. just getting to experience a book or a story together in that way

rumncokeva

I don't think that's weird at all! That's honestly so sweet. I really do love books and storytelling, I think that aspect is what drew me into making audios in the first place too. And it makes me so happy to know I could help you rediscover a love of reading!! I always think that more people should read books, i think if they took the time to find a book they were interested in then lots of those people who think they hate reading might actually come to love it. Thank you for the sweet comment 💕

rumncokeva

Ohhh that's so cool!! That's another really good one. I almost did that one instead, and I was even thinking it could be cool to add in sound effects for the ambiance and to match what's happening in the story. But I didnt know if I would have the time to do something that involved haha

rumncokeva

Oh awesome!! I hope it was fun to read the story along with me, and I hope you enjoy the show if you do end up watching it!!

Dollface

Okay, I do appreciate you editing out burps lol!! But yeah I like that you don’t polish the story time posts to the degree of your other audios, it definitely adds to the appeal.

aroundthegarden

That would be so cool if you ever feel up for it! I’m sure it would turn out really well 🖤

This was such a delight. I have not read/listened to Poe for so long but was obsessed when I was a little girl. I am always surprised at how at first his writing makes me want to resist or laugh at it but then inevitably I can't look away or stop. This also made me pull out my Harry Clarke book who did the illustrations for Poe that I used to just stare at, they are as mesmerizing and unnerving as Poe's tales. I am such a scaredy cat but I love your suggestion of watching the Netflix show but reading each story before the episode. I love that guy's shows but they terrify me and break my heart. He is so exquisite in his ability to capture trauma, love, and grief within the supernatural. Lastly, for a laugh if you have never seen it there is a comic called Hark A Vagrant and if you search that and Edgar Allen Poe the first result is one of my favorite comics she did about Jules Verne being a total fangirl for Poe and it makes me laugh every time. Appreciate all your work and time you put in to these and hope they bring you some enjoyment.
