The next story may well be Edgar Allan Poe's most famous, and it is certainly amongst his best; The Fall of the House of Usher is tour de force of of classic horror writing brought to life as only Renegade can do it.
Folllowing Poe's epic masterpiece is How it Happened, a short and sweet piece of Arthur Conan Doyle fiction about a runaway car and it's impact on the narrators life.
Following up is another great story from the imagination of Conan Doyle, Lot No. 249, except this story is a true epic and the longest one we've released so far at over 80 minutes in length.
