About this audiobook
The letter is from a certain Hans Pfaal, a citizen of Rotterdam who went missing five years earlier under strange circumstances, and who was widely believed to have been the victim of a bizarre and grisly murder. But Hans Pfaal's story is even more astounding than anyone could possibly imagine.
Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston in 1809. His parents, both touring actors, died before he was three. He was raised by John Allan, a prosperous Virginian merchant. Poe published his first volume of poetry while still a teenager. He worked as an editor for magazines in Philadelphia, Richmond and New York, and achieved respect as a literary critic. In 1836, he married his thirteen year-old cousin. It was only with the publication of The Raven and other Poems in 1845 that he achieved national fame as a writer. Poe died in mysterious circumstances in 1849.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5this is supposed to be the birth of modern science fiction and inspired Jules Verne all should read not only this story but the story behind it.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This is not a bad rating for the story itself, but for the narrator. Her tone was extremely obnoxious and I could not make it through to the end.
