It appears there may be a bit of confusion in the request, as Boris Karloff was primarily known as an iconic actor, not a musician or musical artist. However, he did contribute to the world of audio recordings through narrations and performances. I will proceed with a biographic summary reflecting his work in spoken word and acting.

Boris Karloff, born William Henry Pratt on November 23, 1887, in London, England, stands as one of the most renowned figures in the realm of horror cinema. His portrayal of Frankenstein's monster in the 1930s Universal Studios films etched his name into the annals of cinematic history and became a defining symbol of horror. Beyond his towering presence in film, Karloff lent his distinctive, sonorous voice to a variety of recordings.

In the later years of his career and following his death, many of Karloff's audio performances were posthumously released, showcasing his mastery of narration and spoken word. His recordings spanned a diverse selection of literary works, ranging from the children's tales of Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book" and "Just So Stories" to classic prose like Washington Irving's "The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow" and Charles Dickens' "David Copperfield." Karloff's articulation and unique cadence brought a new depth to these stories, making them accessible and engaging to a wide audience, including children and literary aficionados alike.

His storytelling also extended into the realms of mystery and poetry, as heard in the "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" and "The Poetry Of Lewis Carroll." Karloff's ability to weave suspense and intrigue through his vocal delivery was admired, making even the familiar tales feel fresh and haunting. The actor's enduring legacy in both horror entertainment and spoken word remains an inspiration to fans of these genres and stands as a testament to his diverse talents and charismatic persona.
