The Murders in the Rue Morgue was published in 1841 in Graham's Magazine. C. Auguste Dupin is Edgar Allan Poe's 'analytical detecting creation' and possesses many of the traits of Sherlock Holmes and later detectives.

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on Poe's structure, characters, style, and philosophy as it relates to ACD and Sherlock Holmes, etc. It's been written about of course, extensively, but as I read it just now I was struck by certain strangely familiar aspects. I really enjoyed it despite being used to the 50 minute ACD standard adventure length! I also have a dim and distant memory of watching some film (possibly b&w?) of The Murders... as a teenager.

I think it's a great story and I do hope you enjoy it, whether encountering it for the first time or otherwise. It seemed a silly idea to do all the dialogue in a French accent so it's just the usual stuff.

I should perhaps mention for the squeamish that it's perhaps a little more gruesome and grisly in its descriptions than is Doyle.

It goes without saying that all spoilers will be 'ruthlessly' excised from the comments (or notes!).

My name is Greg Wagland and I narrate the tales. Apparently I'm not an AI voice... yet. We '100% meat' narrators (some fat content too!) are a dying breed so if you've a spare sous or cent or penny...
