AudioBookCase Audiobook Publishers Launches Website and First Release

PR Log (Press Release) – Apr 06, 2008 – SHELTON, CT-- AudioBookCase Audiobook Publishers is pleased to announce that the Company has officially launched its new website and has made available its first release:

“Into That Darkness Peering: Nightmarish Tales of the Macabre by Edgar Allan Poe – Volume One”, read by Wayne June.

Volume One, which includes the Poe classics “The Raven” The Black Cat” and “The Cask of Amontillado” is the first in a six volume series to be read by narrator Wayne June, whose narration of works by H.P. Lovecraft has garnered high praise from Lovecraft aficionados. World-recognized leading Lovecraft expert S.T. Joshi, whose assessment of the productions as “splendid” credits June’s “deep, cavernous, almost sepulchral voice” as “…an ideal vehicle for Lovecraft's richly textured prose.”

In reviewing Volume One of AudioBookCase’s first Poe release, John Wright of “The Southern Literary Messenger” states:

“Wayne June’s reading… is excellent and bodes well for what may follow. June’s voice is deep, reminding me much of Orson Welles’, and is a fitting complement for the works…”

AudioBookCase plans the release of subsequent volumes over the course of the coming year, culminating in a specially packaged limited edition of the entire series to appear in January 2009 to coincide with the Bicentennial of Poe’s birth.

“Into That Darkness Peering: Nightmarish Tales of the Macabre by Edgar Allan Poe – Volume One”, read by Wayne June is currently available on the AudioBookCase site (http://www.audiobookcase.com ), as well as from The Edgar Allan Poe Museum in Richmond, VA (http://www.poemuseum.org ) and by digital download online from The Listening Zone: (http://www.thelisteningzone.com)
