If you aren't in the mood for NPR's forecasts for 09 (get your digital tv's ready!)
4:22 Year of Poe story starts. 2009 Edgar Allen Poe would have turned 200. "Oh Boy...It's a big year for us! We're gonna do it all year!" And we won't be outdone by that damndable Lincoln fellow!
But the REALLY scary reading from the Tell Tale Heart commences at 6:19. I remember reading this aloud as a class is school. I was always hoping (praying!) that I would get called on to read the really dramatic bits or sections with words like 'vexing' or 'sagacity' (just to show I could pronounce it). I would practice at home so I'd be ready but inevitable I always got to read the really straight stuff, never anything requiring such emotion as this enthusiast. She sounds like a rabid literary buff might if you ran into them in the woods. or Medieval Times.
Hazaa, she sayeth.
(ps - I had no idea there was a Poe museum in Philly - I totally want to go! http://www.nps.gov/edal/)
