This is a great way to get a taste of Poe. I had only ever read The Raven so I wasn’t sure what his writing was like.
Inevitably I found that it’s not for me, but I really recommend the guides from Audrey without whom I would have been lost with some of these stories.

A nice little collection of stories, although, I will admit, that I struggled to get into The Cask of Amontillado. I will say that this is ore disturbing than scary though, and kind of sad.
I won a copy of this through the Listen with Audrey app and I will add that I enjoyed the narration and the extra notes are interesting. I suspect they would be useful for school students who are studying the works.
