Story4.5 out of 5 stars 249
This is a story from the Fall of the House of Usher collection. The horrors of the Spanish Inquisition, with its dungeon of death, and the overhanging gloom on the House of Usher demonstrate unforgettably the unique imagination of Edgar Allan Poe. Unerringly, he touches upon some of our greatest nightmares: Premature burial, ghostly transformation, words from beyond the grave. Written in the 1840s, they have retained their power to shock and frighten even now.

In a boarded-up house on a dead-end street at the edge of the wild Washington woods lives a family of three. A teenage girl who isn’t allowed outside, not after last time. A man who drinks alone in front of his TV, trying to ignore the gaps in his memory. And a house cat who loves napping and reading the Bible. An unspeakable secret binds them together, but when a new neighbor moves in next door, what is buried out among the birch trees may come back to haunt them all.

a great dramatization!
This is truly a great adaptation of one of Poe's most notable stories! Easier to pay attention to than most readings.

Awful audio recording!
This audio book starts with an introduction to who Edgar Allen Poe was, and a basic background of his life. It also offers a quick history of the particular audio dramatization you are about to hear. The narrator was annoying as all get out. He has the style and cadence of William Shatner. It also alternate between adding odd voice reverb and echo effects to the initial narration to bounce back and forth between segments of the background intro. I found it to be like nails on the chalkboard.
Also this whole introductory nonsense isn't segmented out into it's own chapter marker, so I couldn't just skip past it and immediately find the start of the audio dramatization.
The actual audio play was about the same. The narrator reminds me in voice and tone of Watson Pritchard from "House on Haunted Hill" - that 60's horror movie with Vincent Price. They also continued to use those audio effects. It was pretty campy. Not a good classic radio drama that stands the test of time like, say, a War of the Worlds, or even a good old Green Hornet episode. It was seriously cheesy.
Save your money. Don't buy this unless you've got a thing for 1940s camp.
