B. J. Harrison Reads The Classic Tales Podcast, Season Two

B. J. Harrison Reads The Classic Tales Podcast, Season Five

B. J. Harrison does not tire of the adventurous and mysterious settings in his choice of narratives. This time, the horror element is a bit subdued, though Edgar Allan Poe makes up for the lost thrills with his haunting poems "The Raven", "Annabel Lee", and "The Sleeper". P. G. Wodehouse appears with four works, scoring points for his humor. However light-hearted and adventurous this collection may sound, the thrills come not only from Poe's presence, but also from the snow-covered Denmark...
