Synopsis

In 2001, a group of Portland, ME area theatrical professionals began creating a series of audio theatre programs - Nightmares on Congress Street "classic horror stories to Chill & Thrill". These productions have all been broadcast on Maine's NPR station for the past few Hallowe'en Eves. Now in it's fourth year, this production includes an original story, which is dedicated to Maine's very own 'Master of the Macabre', Stephen King.

Stories include:

• The Monkey's Paw by W.W. Jacobs

• The Cremation of Sam McGee by Robert W. Service

• The Cabin in the Woods by Clay T. Graybeal

• The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allan Poe

• The Librarian by Rhonda Carlson

• The Horror of Walker Point by Anthony S. Marino

"It's rare that I hear something modern that captures the spirit of Halloween. Sure, there's some scary stuff out there, and some funny scary stuff out there, but Nightmares on Congress Street really catches the fun spirit of Halloween. There are scares and laughs in good measure throughout, and you'd be hard-pressed to find better production quality anywhere." —SFFaudio

About Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American poet, short story writer, editor, and literary critic who is credited with inventing the detective fiction genre and with contributing to the emerging science fiction genre. He began his literary career with the anonymous publication of a collection of his poems entitled Tamerlane and Other Poems. He then turned to writing prose and spent the next several years working for literary journals and periodicals, becoming well known for his particular style of literary criticism. He served for a time on the staff of the New York Mirror, in which his poem "The Raven" was published. Poe's other well-known works include his stories "The Purloined Letter," "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," and "The Mystery of Marie Roget."
