I've always liked the Bierce adaptations, this one in particular. Though they flesh out the original story somewhat to fill the time; particularly with the love interest. You can read the original tale in less than the 45 minutes it takes to listen to this story. For those interested, Bierce wrote a couple of dozen stories with a Civil War theme and they all had this element of preternatural. (sp?)

But they do stay close to the plot and especially the feel of the original. And did the same with other Bierce stories. I like the Poe adaptations as well, although in a couple of those RMT wanders pretty far from originals.

And as someone else was inquiring about a couple of months ago . . . too bad RMT never tried any Lovecraft stories.
