Editor reviews

The short story "William Wilson" embodies Poe's characteristic gothic style, twisting plots, and puzzling endings. The tone of John L. Chatty's narration is of a cunning, almost slippery nature, ideally suited for this haunting tale exploring the idea of the double. The protagonist, William, is the book's narrator, his intricate language edged with sadness. This is a timeless story, and essential for any audiobook library.

Summary

Poe is best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre and this story is no exception. In it, a man's life is seemingly ruined by one he considers an arch enemy - until a startling revelation at the end of the story.
