The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar/Poor Things(2023)
from People’s Guide to the Cthulhu Mythos: Cosmic Horror, Lovecraft, Weird Fiction · host DB Spitzer/David Heath/Aunt Gore
"The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar" is a short story by the American author Edgar Allan Poe about a mesmerist who puts a man in a suspended hypnotic state at the moment of death. An example of a tale of suspense and horror, it is also to a certain degree a hoax, as it was published without claiming to be fictional, and many at the time of publication (1845) took it to be a factual account. Poe admitted it to be a work of pure fiction in letters to his correspondents. Check out this link to buy DB's Books[link]
