The Dark History of: Edgar Allan Poe Part II

from The Darkives: Serious history. Told not so seriously

This week we get back into the true story of Edgar Allan Poe and his mysterious death. We cover more events in Edgar's life that made him seem as if he was a haunted writer of the 19th century. Follow the timeline of Poe's short stories that cemented him in American gothic literature history and learn the known facts and theories towards the end of his dark life. In this case of The Darkives, we ponder the occurrences that happened 'Once upon a midnight dreary' and get to the bottom of what Poe's life and death meant. Who is Edgar as a man and as an author to society? Follow us into the 'pit and' see 'the pendulum' of our understanding of Poe sway back and fourth as we go deeper into the history of Edgar Allan Poe.Enjoy the show?
