NBC University Theater
Tales of Edgar Allan Poe
von Edgar Allan Poe
This NBC University Theater production presents three tales by Edgar Allan Poe: “Noseology,” “The Cask of Amontillado,” and “The Fall of the House of Usher.” The program brings Poe’s fiction to radio in dramatic form, with the stories carried by spoken performance and sound.
Poe’s work is known for its dark atmosphere, psychological tension, and fascination with fear and the uncanny. Together, these selections offer a varied introduction to his storytelling, from the unusual premise of “Noseology” to the dread and suspense associated with his better-known tales.
The result is a literary radio program centered on classic Gothic fiction, suited to listeners drawn to eerie settings, unsettling moods, and the dramatic possibilities of Poe’s stories.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.

The Cask of Amontillado is not here. I also can't say that I enjoyed Noseology either. Perhaps I can't get a grip around the fact that Edgar Allen Poe wrote comedy, at least I never heard a comedy story from Poe before. The fall of the house of Usher was pretty good though
