The Raven
Read by Chris Goringe
Perhaps Edgar Allen Poe's most famous poem, the "Raven" is a macabre exploration of a man, his memories of Lenore, and the black bird that interrupts his studies on a dark December night, with tap-tap-tapping at his chamber door. (Summary by Hugh)

I love the raven, it's such a classic and this person's voice was a terrible choice for it
So its said, it is So. Our darkened friend Edgar Allen Poe.

What a sweet bedtime read. I sleep so deep awaiting the arrival of the day , It's a rhythm and the rhyme. That's what way thus Raven did say... Lenore tis thus Evermore.

narrator needs to submerge in the poem . not poke it from arms length

The narrator was awful. Bad choice for a wonderful book. Honestly The Simpsons did a better job.

Truly strange and not a little dark. It seems like an opiated reverie or a fevered dream somewhere between sleep and wakefulness. He will see Lenore never more and hopefully the Raven, in the dawn will be gone for evermore. I like the English reader. If Poe had been an Englishman, he probably would’ve sounded like him.
Lisp?
A LibriVox Listener
To the person who referred to a lisp, that is actually what we refer to as as “English accent”. On of many different variants. But if you give it another listen and pay attention to the “s” sound. Do they sound wrong to you? Classic, evocative poem, perfectly recited.

Great reading of a classic Edgar Allen Poe poem, or, as I like to humorously call it, a Poem. It feels fitting to end this review with the main line: “Quoth the raven, Nevermore.”
