Classic Serial: Edgar Allan Poe's The Gold Bug

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Dramatised by Gregory Evans. Poe's exotic and mysterious stories made the American master of suspense a literary legend. His narrative of an obsession with the discovery of a "golden bug" evokes famous pirates, and drips with the casual racism of the old American South. Forthe 21st century, Gregory Evans gives the story a critcal makeover as a former slave recounts the "true" story.
