Edgar Allan Poe "Reading:" The Black Cat

Below is a fairly new animated clip of Edgar Allan Poe reading an excerpt from his tale "The Black Cat." The style is very reminiscent of this vanguard animation from last year, which utilized a wavering Poe photo to recite "The Raven." Though this latest effort does not add anything new in terms of graphic technology, it effectively communicates the right tone and atmosphere of the story.

Besides, these (re)animated faces of long dead weird writers reading their work are great fun. Is anyone up to the challenge of enlivening H.P. Lovecraft's long New England face?
