Get a lawyer to draw you up a release that give you rights to use their stories, and gets them to accept that they are not plagiarising the stories.
Nobody will come after you until you make money, and if you do, the releases will mean that you can keep what you make either way.

Overhead, the Albatross hangs motionless upon the air,
And deep beneath the rolling waves,
In labyrinths of Coral Caves,
The Echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand;
And everthing is Green and Submarine
