About this audiobook

In his thriller stories Edgar Allan Poe tries to show psychic side of the crime from the inside. He is not interested in social roots of the crime, but in unmotivated actions that go beyond normal behavior of a person in the society. Nevertheless, in a series of stories while describing the acts committed by characters under influence of “contradiction demon” or “perversion demon”, Poe puts in rational reasons. For example, the character from the story The Black Cat understands that his brain is poisoned with alcohol, and as a result his mental health and temper were injured. But this reasoning is too plain and trivial for the thriller. Narrating on behalf of the criminal, Poe brings actions under the control of contradiction demon. Combination of plans puts volume to the stories the events are at the same time rational and not, motivated and incredibly paradoxical.

This complete stories collection includes the works of the famous Edgar Allan Poe: 

The Black Cat, The Gold-Bug, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Masque of the Red Death, The Cask of Amontillado, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar, Hop-Frog.

Well read. If you are listening to this book, you may need to re-listen to it 2+ times, due to the different use of words. Keep in mind it as alot of good older books ,it may use words that are unacceptable today, but not when the book(s) where written .
