I won this audio copy via a giveaway from the Audrey app. Up until this point I've only ever read "The Raven", but I have to say that I really enjoyed some of the other stories here more. The narration was also excellent, and the bonus information was also very helpful and interesting. This is a great pick for anyone wanting short, classic horror stories. Overall, I will continue to use the Audrey app for more audiobooks. My reasoning for not rating this as five stars is that "The Black Cat" was hard to listen to as a cat lover, as there is graphic animal harm, although for anyone wanting to avoid that, the other stories are unrelated and quite worth the listen.
