It's the high season for haunting stories, and you still can't beat Edgar Allan Poe when it comes to a good classic scare. Tune in this Friday, October 30 at 7:00 p.m. to hear members of the Clayton State University theatre department perform a radio play adaption of Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher. Afterward, keep listening as CSU English professor Dr. Robert Vaughan discusses Edgar Allan Poe, his work, and how folklore and spooky stories have come to influence the Halloween tradition.
