The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar by Edgar Allan Poe (Bonus 9)
“We had now some discussion as to the propriety and feasibility of awakening him; but we had little difficulty in agreeing that no good purpose would be served by so doing. It was evident that, so far, death (or what is usually termed death) had been arrested by the mesmeric process…”
This classic gothic tale of mad science ended up being a bit of a challenge to complete for the podcast. Not just because of my 'American accent' (hope it work for you), but also because I got a sore throat soon after I did the recording, and my mic software started playing up. This made it difficult to finish and it did need extra mixing to help make all the bits of the audio match up.
Fingers crossed this won't be very noticeable, and you'll be carried along by, what I think, is one of Poe's best and most underrated chillers.
