Summary
"The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym", Poe's only full length novel, is an exciting and thrilling piece of work that has influenced generations of writers. Born on January 19, 1809 in Boston, Massachusetts, Edgar Allen Poe was to become the master of the macabre. Orphaned at three, he was brought up by a wealthy family and later began to write poetry and worked as a journalist in Richmond. He lived in poverty and had serious alcohol and drug problems. Nevertheless many of his fantastic short stories and poems were published, and he became the most talked about poet in America. Edgar Allen Poe died on October 7, 1849 in Baltimore of "congestion of the brain".
The Reader: Hayward Morse has appeared in innumerable stage, radio, TV and film productions in the United States, Britain, Canada and Europe. Successfully working at London's West End, he later received a Tony award nomination for his performance in "Butley" on Broadway. Very experienced with recording Audio Books, Heyward Morse shows his theatrical grandeur in playing different characters, credibly and most impressingly.

Enjoyed it, but it fell away at the end
Poe was plausible with the stowaway, mutiny and the horrors afflicting our hero until he got to the Antarctic, where he pretty lost me. It was very well read, for £5, worth a go
