Description
For lovers of Edgar Allan Poe and/or Vincent Price, a true piece of history. Highly collectable LP from 1975. Directed by Barbara Holdridge.
The Imp of the Perverse:
After executing the perfect crime, a woman inherits an estate by poisoning its original owner and learns that we are sometimes our own worst enemy.
'...In "The Imp of the Perverse" (1845), we experience sensations of quite a different sort from those of Poe's detective tales, as we enter briefly, with the narrators, into a dream-like world where we can experience the simulations of our wildest nightmares.
Edgar Allan Poe's strongest point, perhaps, is his ability to describe unusual psychological states, various strange but vivid aspects of the inner workings of the human psyche. These analytical descriptions, strange though they may be, are usually so vivid and so real that the unwary reader (or listener) yields to the temptation of thinking he is in the presence of pure autobiography.'
(excerpted from Alexander G. Rose, President, Edgar Allan Poe Society, Baltimore, MD. on back of jacket)
