Summary

In this gripping tale of suspense and mystery, Edgar Allan Poe once again explores the macabre and the unknown. The Oblong Box follows an unnamed narrator aboard a transatlantic ship as he becomes increasingly fascinated by the strange behavior of his old acquaintance, Cornelius Wyatt. Wyatt's mysterious oblong box, hidden away in his cabin, fuels the narrator's curiosity and suspicion.

As the ship sails toward its tragic fate, Poe weaves a tale of suspense, intrigue, and inevitable doom. The narratorโ€™s assumptions lead to dark revelations, where themes of love, loss, and horror collide. With masterful storytelling and a chilling atmosphere, The Oblong Box is a testament to Poeโ€™s genius for creating enduring, haunting stories that leave readers captivated.

Perfect for lovers of gothic fiction and timeless classics, this audiobook, narrated by Marcus Aurelius Green, brings Poeโ€™s eerie narrative to life with intensity and depth. Let your imagination sail into the unknown with The Oblong Boxโ€”a voyage that will keep you on edge until the very end.
