Text the showTRIGGER WARNINGS: Talk of DEATH of a loved one and REINCARNATIONToday we examine a usually overlooked masterpiece by Edgar Allan Poe, a Victorian Gothic ghost story that explores the depths of love and the horrors of obsession. Ligeia was published in 1838 and ever since then it has perturbed readers and scholars alike, leading it to become known as one of Poe’s greatest literary achievements.Ligeia is definitely a scary story, but just as well, it is a heart-wrenching tale of love and devotion. While the narrator can be considered no less than unreliable, it is through his eyes that we are to experience the beauty, the grace, the intelligence and the horror of that incredible woman…Ligeia.There Was An Old Woman from The Ray Bradbury Theater on YouTube.This horror audio story podcast is perfect for fans of horror, the lore of H.P.

Welcome to Unscripted, episodes of The Poe Show audio horror story podcast where I talk in greater detail about Edgar Allan Poe, 19th century literature and all manner of horror!

Text the showToday's horror audio story is the intriguing tale of a lost lover dealing with a personal illness. Eleonora is one of Edgar Allan Poe’s most well criticized Victorian ghost stories, and as you’ll see in this episode, for good reason. Not only does it show the extent of Poe’s masterful use of powerful prose and ravishing rhetoric to create an unforgettable narrative, it also demonstrates the layers of hidden meaning he was able to construct within the ongoing story. As a master of scary stories and horror, Poe here seems to take a break from the grotesque and focus on the tragic and the beautiful. Truly, this is a gem, among some of Poe’s best work.Research sources for this episode:The History of Men by Prof. Michael S.

It is yet another testament that while writing America’s greatest scary stories and creepy tales, Edgar Allan Poe still found time to write some of the most touching and beautiful poems about love and loss that we’ve yet seen in human history.

Text the showMerry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone this season! Today, in honor of the spirit of Christmas, the compassion for and connection to our fellow human beings, let’s dive into a circular letter by Robert Frost. This letter expresses Frost’s disdain for the overt commercialization of the world, buying up any and all beautiful things to sell them off for a profit. The antagonist of this poem is one who sees no wrong in taking what’s not his, offering little compensation, then stealing away to make a profit on his scheme. Its poignant message rings especially loud this year…I decided to keep the music for this episode relatively simple: just one piano plucking away at a sparse melody. I drew upon the tunes I remember loving as a child, like the soundtracks to The Polar Express and Elf. I hope it brings you the same feeling of warmth that helps in this winter cold as it did me.This podcast is perfect for educators, teachers, students and schools/colleges looking to educate themselves and others on the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Victorian era writing, old ghost stories and classic horror fiction.

Text the showTRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains DOLLS and PARENT LOSING TRACK OF A CHILD.This Victorian ghost story is the first ever to feature the haunted doll. Although it may be a modern horror trope present in many movies, TV shows and stories nowadays, this tale shows just how new the idea of creepy dolls was. Dolls gaining the innovation of sound was a completely new feature at the time of this story’s publication, and F. Marion Crawford obviously knew the potential for what a creepy story he could tell with them. This scary story of a haunted doll stalking a worried father is sometimes terrifying, sometimes heartbreaking, and all the time spooky. Please enjoy The Doll’s Ghost from 1896.Composing the music for this episode became much more heart wrenching than I thought could be possible. It was quite difficult for me, emotionally. This score has now become so integral to how I interpret this story that I cannot read it without hearing the music - nor hear the music without growing emotional at remembering Mr. Puckler's fear of losing his child (and the fear of being lost as a child). Experimenting with ways to replay the same melody, shaping it from a child's perspective, graduating to a parent's perspective, then perverting it with the fear of the ghost, was an exhilarating challenge.This podcast is perfect for educators, teachers, students and schools/colleges looking to educate themselves and others on the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Victorian era writing, old ghost stories and classic horror fiction.

Text the showAlthough I expected a haunting contemplation of death and its eerie silence, and despite my supposed I would read here a meditation on the Gothic horror of decay, I had all such suppositions overturned. Initially it seemed this poem was a question of whether life would be beautiful if there were to be no eternal sleep. Now I see it more in its true light: as a celebration of devoted love and the peace we can come to when confronted with death, an astonishment at the pulchritudinous state of a woman who has passed. All of these and more are the focus of today’s episode - the dark, dream-like poetry of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Sleeper.Join me as I tell and explore one of Edgar Allan Poe’s most romantic poems, and how it traverses with subtle Gothic beauty the mourning of a lost loved one.Teachers, students, horror literature fans, Halloween lovers, and Poe enthusiasts like myself…let’s dive right in.Subscribe, like, share and give the podcast a great review!Support The Poe Show! https://ko-fi.com/thepoeshowWebsite: https://www.thepoeshow.com/Episode music and narration by Tynan Portillo.Horror Movie Reviews on The Poe Show YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thepoeshowpodcastBluesky: thepoeshow.bsky.socialTikTok: @poeshowpodcastInstagram & Threads: @thepoeshowpodcastEmail: [email protected] music by Emmett Cooke on PremiumBeat.Support the show

Text the showIs this tale one of the most haunting stories Edgar Allan Poe has ever written?In this episode, we will step into the chilling catacombs of The Cask of Amontillado, a pinnacle of Gothic horror crafted by the master of literary suspense: Edgar Allan Poe.Whether you're a literature lover, horror enthusiast, or Poe fanatic like myself, this episode offers a compelling analysis of key themes like revenge, betrayal and irony, the historical context in Edgar Allan Poe's life, and hidden meanings in Poe’s masterful tale of twisted justice. He wrote more than dark fiction, he put psychological horror from pen to paper.Edgar Allan Poe wrote The Cask of Amontillado in 1846 in Godey’s Lady’s Book, and it is a chilling narrative of the most sinister kind of revenge. This gothic tale reflects themes from The Black Cat, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Premature Burial and many more of Edgar Allan Poe’s similar works. In The Black Cat, a cat is hidden behind a wall built back up brick by brick. In The Pit and the Pendulum, the agony of slow torture tears apart the mind of the protagonist. The scary story of being buried alive is also featured in The Premature Burial, the most recent creepy story featured on this podcast. If you’re looking for a spooky short story to listen to during the silent night, hoping to gain some fearful terror and delightful frights, then please enjoy The Cask of Amontillado.Perfect for students, teachers, book clubs, those who love Halloween stories and true crime fans who enjoy the macabre brilliance of Edgar Allan Poe.

Text the showThis is a very important poem to me, and I hope it can be so to you too. Edgar Allan Poe knew better than most just how alone one can truly be, as he was ridiculed and mocked for his storytelling by those who didn't grasp it for the treasure it was. Throughout his life, he knew what it was to be misunderstood, neglected, and betrayed. We can very easily feel alone in this world and like no one knows us, what we're dealing with or how we feel.

Text the showThere's nothing like a little romance to make Edgar Allan Poe take pen to paper. Today we examine a poem from 1829, which Poe wrote as a young man. It explores not only the quiet joy of having found romance, but just as well the potential of romance to have devastating effects on oneself. A torrential thing indeed.Remember to support the show, share with others and subscribe!

Text the showYes, that’s right. Victorian ghost stories are becoming a regular occurrence on The Poe Show! This time, our ghost story from 1858 follows a man who happens to dine with the devil. After dinner, the two travel to their “journey’s end” together, passing many other lost souls. James Hain Friswell wrote this spooky winter tale over 160 years ago, but the dreary and ghostly narrative is as entertaining today as it has ever been! Now, please enjoy The Oxford Ghost.
