Neil Gaiman says Edgar Allan Poe should be read aloud, and he's right: he recorded this video of him reading "The Raven" in 2016 as part of Pat Rothfuss's Worldbuilders charity drive. It's Poe's birthday today, and I can think of no better way to celebrate it than to listen to it again.
Other ways to celebrate this magnificent torch:
* The spectacular pop-up edition
* The 50s hipster argot edition
* The 1969 rock-and-roll version
* Vincent Price and Boris Karloff's Raven-inspired magic duel
