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

W. W. Jacobs

William Wymark Jacobs (1863 1943) was a prolific short-story writer.

Known for his trademark wit even in the horror story 'The Monkey's Paw', for which he is best known Jacobs set most of his stories in the docks of East London, where he lived from a young age, as well as in Essex, where he moved in his middle age.

Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) is one of America's greatest and best-loved writers.

Known as the father of the detective story, Poe is perhaps most famous for his short stories particularly his shrewd mysteries and chilling, often grotesque tales of horror he was also an extremely accomplished poet and a tough literary critic.

Poe's life was not far removed from the drama of his fiction. Orphaned at a young age, he was raised by a foster family. As a young man, he developed problems with gambling, debts, and alcohol, and was even dismissed from the army.

His love life was marked by tragedy and heartbreak. Despite these difficulties, Poe produced many works now considered essential to the American literary canon.
