I have not finished listening to all of these episodes, but I have enjoyed listening to them. In most of the stories really have very little to do with the actual Poe story, but for the sake of drama(I suppose)they were changed for radio. They were still enjoyable

too many changes

I love Poe, but this had too many departures from the original for my liking. I stopped only after a couple of stories, so you may want to make your own decision
