Michael Gotch of the University of Delaware's Resident Ensemble Players has adapted Edgar Allan Poe’s classic thriller, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, into a spine-tingling theatrical production that surely will give some a Halloween fright. Listeners can stream this audio production for free anytime from Oct 27 until Nov. 14 through the REP's website www.rep.udel.edu.

In this grisly story, the city of Paris is shocked by the horrifying murders of a mother and daughter. Their bodies are viciously brutalized — one decapitated, one dreadfully slashed and wedged up the chimney. Multiple witnesses heard the murderer but give contradicting reports. Police are baffled at the nearly supernatural strength of the murderer and are left with no evidence as to how the criminal entered or escaped the scene.
