Editorial reviews
Murders in the Rue Morgue and Other Stories contains a fantastic sampling of Edgar Allan Poe masterpieces. The title piece holds the crown as the first detective story, predecessor to the Sherlock Holmes episodes. David Case makes this audiobook particularly special as he performs Poe with unparalleled enthusiasm. He endows each story with his own unique and convincing spin, utilizing all of the vocal tools at his disposal. Namely, his haunting and desperate interpretation of the great poem "The Raven" stands in a league of its own.
