Roderick Usher is in trouble

A beautiful, terrible story with wonderful imagery. Well worth a listen as one is walking or on a dark night

Good story, but far too many narrator mistakes

I'm a teacher and sometimes purchase audiobooks to help struggling students. This one was decidedly unhelpful, as the narrator often mispronounced words, or substituted similar sounding ones. I liked the sound of his voice, but otherwise I would not recommend this particular adaptation.
