Para escapar de la epidemia de cólera, un hombre abandona la ciudad y visita a un amigo en las afueras. Mientras reciben noticias trágicas y desesperanzadoras, intentan rearmar la rutina en medio del campo. En una ocasión, dispuesto a tomarse un descanso, el protagonista de La esfinge se asoma a la ventana. Lo que ve, lejos de calmarlo, lo sume en un terror ineludible: un monstruo desconocido lo acecha en las sombras. Este cuento de Poe fue publicado por primera vez en la Arthur's Ladies Magazine de 1846. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Pre producción y voz: CECILIA BONA Editó este episodio: DANY FERNÁNDEZ (@danyrap.f) para @activandoproducciones.proyecto ⚙️ Producción: XIMENA GONZALEZ @ximegonzal3z ¡Ayudanos a crecer!

Penetrating the secret world of “the Edgar Allan Poe of the cinema".

Ein alter Mann in seinem alten Schloss. Er ist der letzte eines einstmals großen Geschlechts. Aus der Zeit geworfen und aus der Welt gefallen, beschäftigt er sich nurmehr mit sich selbst und seinen ungreifbaren Ängsten, die ihn mehr und mehr vereinnahmen. Dem Wahnsinn nahe lädt er einen alten Jugendfreund zu sich ein. Der kommt und erlebt Schreckliches ... So erzählt es Edgar Allan Poe in seiner Geschichte vom "Untergang des Hauses Usher". Lässt man den Namen weg, könnte es der Untergang irgendeines Hauses sein. Und manches erinnert von Ferne vielleicht sogar an ein Medienhaus.

Si buscan originalidad en un libro, no se pierdan el programa de hoy, en el que les planteamos algo tan fuera de nuestro tiempo como pùede ser, escribir cartas. Lo hacemos con Robert Juan Cantavella publica con la editorial Candaya, “Detente Bala”, una originalísima novela en la que Franco Piatkun, un actor de novela recluido en un psiquiátrico, escribe cartas a autores del pasado, desde  Edgar Allan Poe hasta Nikolái Gógol, pasando por Melville o Stevenson. Las cartas le sirven al autor para darnos a conocer al personaje pero también para desarrollar sus ideas sobre la literatura. Con Robert Juan Cantavella hablamos esta tarde en La Torre de Babel.Además, recuperamos la voz y los versos de Aitana Monzón que se consolida como una de las voces poéticas más interesantes de una nueva generación con una manera distinta de entender la expresión poética. Tras varios libros publicados que se cuentan por premios, Aitana publica ahora Salve, un libro en el que expone su mundo creativo y personal y que supone para el lector, una aventura en cada página. Y cerramos visitando el  Archivo Histórico Provincial de Zaragoza  con su director, José Carlos Puente Sanagustín para hablar del Real Acuerdo de la Real Audiencia de Aragón, institución cuyos archivos nos permiten conocer a fondo multitud de detalles del siglo XVIII en Aragón.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 367 The blood is the life!Today I would like to start out by comparing Bram Stoker's Dracula's castle to Edgar Allan Poe's decaying House of Usher.Both Castle Dracula and the House of Usher are iconic Gothic settings that share several key characteristics, emphasizing decay, isolation, and a sense of foreboding. However, they also have distinct features that set them apart.Castle Dracula is described as a vast, ruined structure with broken battlements and tall black windows. Its exterior shows signs of decay, with carvings worn by time and weather. The castle's imposing architecture and remote location on a great rock contribute to its air of impenetrability and isolation.In contrast, the House of Usher is portrayed as a mansion rather than a castle, but it shares the theme of decay. The exterior of the House of Usher is covered in "minute fungi" and a "fine tangled web-work," creating a more organic form of deterioration.Both structures evoke a sense of ancient history and faded grandeur. Castle Dracula is associated with Romanian aristocracy and contains valuable artifacts from centuries past. The House of Usher, while not explicitly tied to nobility, also carries an aura of long-standing family history.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

The Head of English at an Auckland college says he won't teach the proposed new English curriculum and is urging other teachers to boycott it too. The draft curriculum released earlier this month comes with a list of suggested texts including Arthur Miller's the Crucible, Edgar Allan Poe's the raven,1984 by George Orwell and Dubliners by James Joyce. The draft document makes no mention of Te Mataiaho a learning frame work grounded in Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Northcote College head of English David Taylor spoke to Lisa Owen.

«Junto a un muerto» es un cuento de terror del gran escritor de cuentos Guy de Maupassant, uno de los más de trescientos que escribió. Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant, escritor popular francés del siglo XIX, es considerado uno de los padres del relato corto moderno. Fue protegido de Flaubert, y se le conoce como uno de los mayores autores del naturalismo por su economía de estilo y su desenlace eficaz y sin esfuerzo, a pesar de que siempre renegó de aquella escuela. En ocasiones, la calidad de sus cuentos ha sido comparada con la de los relatos de Edgar Allan Poe. Tuvo discípulos en todas las lenguas, incluso fue plagiado numerosas veces. Admirado por Émile Zola, y seguido por Anton Chéjov y Horacio Quiroga, el terror psicológico, el terror metafísico y, en definitiva, el terror a secas están presentes en sus mejores relatos.

It was touch and go for a moment, but we've just about recovered from our first dive into The Witcher: Classic Collection. And that's a good thing because it's time to finish the book! The second three chapters are all based on classic Witcher short stories, so at least we know what we're in for…or so we thought! Why is that knight riding his horse up a giant stone dildo? Is that an Edgar Allan Poe cameo? What's up with the guy and his magic cat? And don't even get us going on the descriptively named cobbler in the final story! At least there's whisky this time around—the Icelandic Flóki Single Malt, which proves to be every bit the wild ride as the book we've paired it with.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 362 - Poetry and DreamsI was looking through articles about Poe to find information for a future article regarding why do so many people read Edgar Allan Poe. And I found some great stuff and certainly will be writing an episode or two about that subject. But I found an article that said that more Americans - almost 3/4 - are familiar with Edgar Poe - more than any other poet.  Shakespeare is second.Now  this was the episode where I wanted to start some episodes on Bram Stoker - but it turns out there is a poetry workshop that is rather time sensitive, so I better get this out now.You see, on Thursday, April 24 there will be a free workshop from the Academy of American Poets online at YouTube - no charge at all, tho I doubt they would turn down donations.  All you need to do is register, and again, it is free. I have the URL on my Buzzsprout transcript and show notes - but in case you can't  remember URLS - I can't - it is https//poets.org/gala/2025 - - again, it is free - all you need to do is register in advance.  The readers include people such as Christine Baranski, Stephen King, Tony Kusher, Fran Lebowitz, and Lawrence O'Donnell - among others.Just wanted to be sure that you got the info about what is called Poetry and the Creative Mind - again, to be held on Thursday, April 24.By the way, Meryl Streep is extremely active in Poetry and the Creative Mind, and has read works by Elizabeth Bishop, Sylvia Plath, and Walt Whitman in programs across multiple years.By the way, poets.org.gala.2025 will take you to the registration page as well.For the rest of this episode, I would like to delve into several of Edgar Poe's poems that deal with dreams.  The three poems are Dreams, A Dream, and A Dream Within a Dream, and Dreamland - and boy, are they easy to mix up.  So take them in order considering the number of words in the title - I know it sounds simplistic but stay with me because it makes things soooo much easier.  And I am not going to include the poem Dreamland until the end of this podcast  - It is (in my opinion, a poem that is in a class by yourself.)Think 1, 2, and 5 - words that is -The title of Dreams is just one word, the title of A Dream is two words, and the title of the shortest and most mature work - A Dream Within a Dream is 5 words. Dreams and A Dream were both published in 1827 and A Dream Within a Dream was published in 1849 - the year of Edgar Poe's earthly demise.Let me say that again - The title of Dreams is just one word, the title of A Dream is two words, and the title of the most mature work - A Dream Within a Dream is 5 words. Dreams and A Dream were both published in 1827 and A Dream Within a Dream was published in 1849.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

Auguste Dupin - první detektiv v dějinách literatury a předobraz Holmese i Poirota. Poprvé se prošel 20.dubna 1841 po pařížské Rue Morgue.

His past work includes books on theology and science fiction, curating exhibitions on Edgar Allan Poe and Mark Twain, and working as part of the editorial team for Philip K. Dick's EXEGESIS. His most recent book is THE SAUCERIAN: UFOs, MEN IN BLACK, AND THE UNBELIEVABLE LIFE OF GRAY BARKER.Visit Gabriel online at: https://gabrielmckee.com/THE SAUCERIAN can be ordered from Amazon here, it will be released on April 22, 2025: https://www.amazon.com/Saucerian-UFOs-Black-Unbelievable-Barker/dp/0262049546/Info about THE SAUCERIAN:Gray Barker (1925–1984) was an eccentric literary outsider, filled with ideas that were out of step with the world. An author and unreliable narrator of implausible stories, Barker founded and operated Saucerian Books, an independent publisher of books about flying saucers and other ideas at the fringes of popular discourse. In The Saucerian, Gabriel Mckee tells the fascinating story of Barker's West Virginia–based press, the unique corpus of materials it published, and how office-copying and self-publishing techniques influenced the spread of paranormal beliefs and conspiratorial worldviews over the last century. Following the development of UFO subculture, Mckee explores the life and career of a larger-than-life hoaxer and originator of pseudoscientific ideas.Ever an entertainer, Barker established his reputation with one of the first flying saucer fanzines, The Saucerian, and with his first book, the conspiratorial and sensationalistic They Knew Too Much about Flying Saucers. By the close of the 1950s, he had established a publishing imprint that brought out some of the strangest UFO-related books of the era, with a particular emphasis on flying saucer contactees. Saucerian Books became a platform for those whose stories were too unusual, implausible, or crudely written for more mainstream publishers. Though Barker himself was a skeptic, he viewed the world of occult believers as a source of ongoing entertainment. He also may have used the perceived eccentricity of flying saucer research, or “ufology,” to obscure his homosexuality from his small-town neighbors. From his place on the fringes of midcentury American culture, Barker left an unmatched legacy in conspiratorial concepts that have become prominent pop-cultural folklore, including the Men in Black, the Mothman, and the Philadelphia Experiment. As a mastermind behind the fantastical, Barker's promotional efforts were the precursor to contemporary conspiracism.Gabriel visits with Talking Weird to chat about the amazing life of Gray Barker, and his profound impact on the development of UFO belief.This is an incredible episode, one filled with stories about early Ufology, that you do not want to miss!

Send us a textThis month we are celebrating National Poetry Month. In addition to our staff reading some of their favorite poems and our interview with Franz Douskey, the Hamden poet laureate, one of our patrons was kind enough to call in and read two of her original poems.  We also have a fun little quiz segment entitled “Taylor or Edgar” in which Kacie read me a series of short excerpts and I had to guess whether it was written by Taylor Swift or Edgar Allan Poe.  This has been a real labor of love for me and has turned out to be, I think, possibly my favorite episode that we've ever done. Of course, I was an English major so I'm a little biased, but I hope you enjoy it as well! - Mike

Esta semana en Lecturas de Leyenda voy a leerles algo de uno de mis cuentistas favoritos de la vida, un autor que es responsable de mi pasión hacia el terror y la lectura, pues cuando era niño cayó a mis manos un libro llamado "Narraciones Extraordinarias" y me dejó completamente atónito, me refiero a Edgar Allan Poe. Esto es "El Retrato Oval". Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 355 - Poe and VampiresWhile Edgar Allan Poe didn't write about traditional vampires, his exploration of vampiric themes places his work within a broader context of vampiric literature, showcasing the versatility of the concept beyond just blood-drinking monsters.  And hopefully within the next few minutes, Mr. Poe will make an appearance to address that very subject.To begin with, Poe's story "The Fall of the House of Usher," the relationship between Roderick and Madeline Usher has vampiric qualities, with their lives seemingly intertwined in a way that drains both."The Oval Portrait" - also by Poe - features an artist who seems to transfer his wife's life force into his painting, a vampiric act of creation.Poe's story "Morella" explores themes of identity transfer and rebirth, which can be interpreted as a form of vampiric continuation of life.   And those are just three of Poe's vampiric stories.But before this podcast delves into those stories, Celebrate Poe will have several episodes dealing with Bram Stoker's Dracula - and before we tackle the most well-known of all works of vampire literature - I thought it would be appropriate to talk with Mr. Edgar Allan Poe himself about the subject of vampires and briefly touch on their use in his work - and I do want to emphasize the word briefly - because after Easter I intend to - among other things - delve into the use of vampiric elements in more detail in Poe's stories.   By the way, I think I hear the ghost of Mr. Poe now . . .Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

In this chapter we learn how Roger Corman made the very first movie adaptation of a HP Lovecraft story - The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, starring Vincent Price and Lon Chaney Jnr. - but when it hit cinemas, it had become Edgar Allen Poe's The Haunted Palace! (And yes, they even spelled Poe's middle name wrong!)

She explains her recent work on "surveillance" in the works of Poe, Harriet Jacobs, and Charles Ball who are rarely studied together, and how they invert power dynamics.Kelly talks about how important it is to move beyond venerating traditional canonical (mostly white and male) authors and the importance of including more diverse voices and perspectives. Then, we talk about why current popular culture is interested in themes of "racial surveillance and anxiety," think Hulu's The Other Black Girl or HBO's The Gilded Age!Of particular interest to Kelly's studies is how The Other Black Girl critiques how publishing prioritizes profits over diversity and sensitivity.

In this bonus episode of Gangland Wire, I follow up on my interview with Mafia historian Anthony DeStefano to discuss New York City's organized crime more. One of the most significant topics Anthony and I covered was the Alto Nights social club. This was not only the title, but also the central character in the recent Mafia film written by Goodfellas scribe Nicholas Pileggi, who starred Robert De Niro in dual roles. Gary sets the record straight on two pivotal New York crime hangouts—the Ravenite Social Club and the Alto Knights Social Club—which the media frequently confuse. The Ravenite at 247 Mulberry, tied to Carlo Gambino, played a crucial role in his rise to power after Albert Anastasia's assassination. Meanwhile, the Alto Knights Social Club, at 86 Kenmarre, emerged from the old Cafe Royale, a well-known bookmaking hub, solidifying its place in Genovese family history. Only three blocks separated these clubs, but they were miles apart in Mafia history. Listeners will hear about notorious gangsters who frequented the Alto Knights, including Vito Genovese, Michael Miranda, and infamous enforcer Buster Ardito. Through historical anecdotes and law enforcement surveillance records, this episode paints a vivid picture of mob life—its power struggles, criminal enterprises, and the relentless pursuit by federal authorities.

Good to be back here in Studio Gangland Wire. A little bonus episode here. Hopefully, you just listened to or watched my interview with Anthony DeStefano, who had these books about Frank Costello and Vito Genovese, and from which Nick Pileggi researched to write his screenplay for the most recent movie that's just released, Alto Nights, It's a pretty interesting movie. We haven't seen a movie about the mob in the 50s since the 50s or the 60s, I don't think. And they talk about the Alto Knight Social Club. That's what this was all about, the Alto Knight Social Club. It was a Genovese social club. But what I've noticed is there's a lot of discussion about where was this club? And there's a whole school of thought, thanks to the New York Times or another New York newspaper, were obviously conflating the Ravenite Social Club and the Alto Knights Social Club. Two different clubs. So let's look at the Ravenite, which was at 247 Mulberry Street. And what the papers are saying, that the Alto Knights name was changed by Carlo Gambino when he inherited it from Albert Anastasia after he was killed. Barbershop Quartet, if you remember, murdered him in the Barbershare most famous mob photos ever, I think. Bosley Gambino changed it to the Raven Knights, Raven Knights, like, you know. [1:26] Knights with a sword and the raven, because he loved the Edgar Allan Poe poem so much, the one called the Raven, you know, the Raven, quote, the Raven nevermore. Now, it seems kind of weird that Gambino must have been a pretty erudite, sophisticated mob boss. If you read Edgar Allan Poe and poems, you know, I remember it because it's just so immensely popular. It got to, you know, quote the Raven nevermore. It's such a great line that, you know, you've heard of it. I don't think I ever read the whole thing. It's certainly not for fun, maybe in school.

Hoy rescatamos de nuestros audioteca un relato de uno de los grandes maestros del terror gótico: Edgar Allan Poe. Entre todos sus cuentos, pocos son tan inquietantes y simbólicos como el que escucharemos hoy: La máscara de la Muerte Roja. Esta es una historia de decadencia y fatalidad, de una plaga implacable y un príncipe que, en su intento de escapar de la muerte, sella su destino en un baile de máscaras siniestro. Poe nos sumerge en una atmósfera febril, llena de opulencia y horror, en la que la muerte, tarde o temprano, siempre reclama su lugar.

De Baudelaire a Borges y luego a Cortázar. En la genealogía de traductores del escritor estadounidense se une, al final del camino, el nombre de la editorial Páginas de Espuma, que reedita ahora los cuentos completos del autor de Baltimore. ¿Por qué era necesario actualizar la traducción que hizo Cortázar (respetada y canónica) del autor de 'Los crímenes de la calle Morgue'? ¿Es verdad que había pasajes ausentes y otros inventados? ¿Y qué vigencia tiene Poe en nuestra literatura, tanto policiaca como sobre todo fantástica? Lo analizamos con Carlos Alsina, Rubén Amón, Rosa Belmonte, Guillermo Altares, Sergio del Molino y Nacho Vigalondo. Además, debatimos sobre la negativa de la editorial Alfaguara a poner a la venta, al menos de momento, su polémica novela 'El odio' (sobre el Caso Bretón). Y hacemos recomendaciones rumanas por petición de un oyente.

When a beautiful cigar shop girl is found dead under mysterious circumstances, a troubled Edgar Allan Poe becomes obsessed with solving the real-life crime—turning tragedy into fiction in a desperate search for truth.IN THIS EPISODE: I'm sharing a chapter from the book “Nevermore: The Haunted Life and Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe” by Troy Taylor, which I narrated the audiobook for. But this chapter by itself was so interesting to me that I thought it would make a great episode of Weird Darkness – plus, it gives you a little peek into what you might get if you purchase the book itself. I've left a link to the book in the show notes below. This is the true story about themurder of a girl who worked in a cigar shop, the investigation of it by law enforcement, how Edgar Allan Poe saw it as an opportunity to escalate his career and name… and how it all almost blew up in his face, even with some claiming Poe was the murderer of the poor girl!SOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Nevermore: The Haunted Life and Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe” by Troy Taylor: https://amzn.to/41e7BxJ=====Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version. https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateInfo on the next LIVE SCREAM event. https://weirddarkness.com/LiveScreamInfo on the next WEIRDO WATCH PARTY event. https://weirddarkness.com/TV=====(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

In this chapter we have the next two Poe movies from Roger Corman, which each took a different direction. Tales of Terror (1962) was an anthology film featuring three different Poe stories, plus guest stars Peter Lorre and Basil Rathbone. While The Raven (1963) was a comedy horror tale of feuding sorcerers which saw Vincent Price plotting magical skulduggery with Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff and a young Jack Nicholson!

Chatting today about so many topics with author Raven Digitalis, including navigating the world as an empath and his latest work of fiction, Black Magick.Darkness is interpretive. It's in our nature to explore the shadows. Through the 13 stories presented in Black Magick, the reader is transported into mysterious settings that blur the line between fiction and reality. Renowned writers have contributed their expert tales to this collection, including Storm Constantine, Tracy Cross, and even Edgar Allan Poe. Each story uniquely integrates occultism and magick, deepening the mysteries of the shadow. By acknowledging darkness through the written medium, we can better come to terms with the darkness within ourselves. And when we explore the darker aspects of life, we more accurately come to know what it means to be human.Find Raven:Website: www.ravendigitalis.comBlack Magick: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Raven-Digitalis/author/B001JS9TBI?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=trueFacebook: www.facebook.com/ravendigitalis Instagram: www.instagram.com/ravendigitalisOriginally trained in Georgian Witchcraft, Raven Digitalis has been an earth-based practitioner since 1999, a Priest since 2003, a Freemason since 2012, and an empath all of his life.
