JEFF NILES PRESENTS, Eps 3 and 4. Due to the shortness of episode 3, which is a recitation of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven", we're attaching it to the front of episode 4, which is a dramatization of wee Eddie's story "The Pit and the Pendulum". An eerie double-feature for you, from our dear departed pal Jeff Niles. Trust us, Jeff was alive when he made these, but he'd appreciate the thought. "The Raven" recited by Viktor Aurelius "The Pit and the Pendulum" is a gruesome and evocative tale of torture and psychological horror at the hands of the Spanish Inquisition, filled with nightmarish imagery and heart-stopping suspense. Starring: Peter Heimsoth, Jeff Niles, and Vikor Aurelius

Inspirado nos contos clássicos de Edgar Allan Poe, o mestre Roger Corman produziu e dirigiu 8 pérolas macabras – algumas um pouco canalhas, mas sempre excelentes – que se tornaram marcos no cinema de horror dos anos 1960. Contando com Vincent Price em quase todos os filmes, o ciclo Corman-Poe é referência em ambientação gótica, horror melodramático e muita criatividade para driblar o baixo orçamento. Essa semana temos a honra de homenagear grandes nomes do horror com esse episódio: Roger Corman, Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Barbara Steele, Ray Milland, dentre outros. Todos eles enfrentam as maiores paranoias da humanidade, o medo de ser enterrado vivo, o medo de ser traído e a obsessão por batalhas com poderes mágicos e poltronas flutuantes.

Edgar Allan Poe was one of the most influential and haunting voices in American literature, a writer whose imagination reshaped horror, detective fiction, science fiction, and the modern short story Poe lived a life marked by poverty, personal loss, and professional struggle, yet from that turbulence he forged works of enduring power such as The Raven, The Tell-Tale Heart, and The Fall of the House of Usher. His poetry explored obsession, beauty, and grief, while his tales of psychological terror probed the darkest corners of the human mind.

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above. Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.Harp takes center stageKathy Kienzle is a retired principal harp of the Minnesota Orchestra. She's looking forward to the upcoming Bakken Ensemble performance where the harp gets to shine. This season Bakken Ensemble celebrates 30 years. The performance is 4 p.m. Sunday, March 1, at Westminster Hall in Minneapolis.Cheryl Losey Feder is the guest harpist, and Kienzle says this is a wonderful chance to hear her perform chamber music up-close, rather than with the full Minnesota Orchestra.Kathy is particularly looking forward to hearing André Caplet's “Conte Fantastique,” which she calls “extremely difficult and very, very fun to hear.”Kathy says: One of the reasons I really love this piece is people think of the heart as a very beautiful, soothing, pretty instrument. And this piece really looks at the dark side of the harp. It's based on a story by Edgar Allan Poe called “The Masque of the Red Death,” about a group of nobles who hole up in a castle and throw a masked ball while the populace dies of a plague, only to be killed off by a masked figure dressed as a plague victim.— Kathy KienzleA visionary's early years on stageBrianna Regan is a former stage manager and ongoing arts fan in Minneapolis. She has seen both Theatre Elision's current and previous productions of Grace McLean's musical “In the Green,” and she liked it even better this time. The musical is about the early years of Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179), a German Benedictine abbess, visionary, and composer whose writings spanned medical, natural history, philosophy, music and more. The 90-minute musical focuses on a young Hildegard's early years, when she entered the church after having visions. She is cloistered with an older nun, Jutta.Brianna describes the show: It's a small, five-person cast that really deals with how to be a woman in the world, how to deal with using your voice, speaking up, being present and how to heal from trauma. This time around, I really think it is even more relevant in our current political environment, as well as what we are dealing with here in Minnesota; it really hit me and gave me that kind of catharsis. The artists in the show are just absolutely incredible. I cannot say enough good things about their musical talents. It is a little bit of a weird musical, but I will say, from start to finish, the story pulls you in.— Brianna ReganChamber music in NisswaStephen Gurney of Bemidji is a retired English professor with a self-described “indefatigable love of classical music.” He and his wife plan to make the drive to Nisswa to see the Lakes Area Music Festival perform Mozart and Borodin.The concert is Sunday at the Lutheran Church of the Cross at 2 p.m. Saturday's performance at Pillsbury Castle in Minneapolis is sold out. The program contains three pieces of chamber music by Mozart, Dvorak and Borodin.Stephen offers some background on Borodin's “String Quartet No. 2 in D Major”:Stephen says: Borodin was one of the Russian five. These were five Russian composers who endeavored to express Russian folk music and even liturgical music in their in their works. Borodin was by trade a chemist, and actually contributed a great deal to the advance of organic chemistry, but the Second String Quartet is a pure love song from beginning to end. It was dedicated to his wife. It was written and given to her on one of their anniversaries.— Stephen Gurney
In February 1826, 17-year-old Edgar Allan Poe was a promising student at the University of Virginia. But within a few months, gambling debts forced him to abandon his studies. It was just one of many setbacks Poe endured in a life marked by financial struggle, alcoholism, and personal tragedy.But Poe launched a remarkable career in writing, helping to establish American literature with a bold, new voice. From short stories including “The Fall of the House of Usher,” to the poem that made him famous, “The Raven,” he transformed the horror genre by delving into the dark recesses of the human subconscious and pushing the boundaries of fiction and verse.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Barnaby Rudge (version 2) Part 4Charles Dickens (1812 - 1870)One of the two Historical novels Charles Dickens wrote, Barnaby Rudge is set around the ‘Gordon' riots in London in 1780. The story begins in 1775 with Barnaby, his Mother, and his talking Raven Grip, fleeing their home from a blackmailer, and going into hiding. Joe Willet similarly finds he must leave his home to escape his Father's ire, leaving behind the woman he loves. Five years later these characters, and many others whose lives we have followed, find themselves caught up in the horrific Protestant rioting led by Sir George Gordon. The mob which reaches 100,000 strong, gets out of hand, and there is danger to all in the path of their destruction. Charles Dickens skillfully weaves the lives of his many loving and many wicked characters through the rioting, and shows how this uprising changes so many lives. As a side note, Edgar Allan Poe is said to have been inspired by Barnaby's raven Grip when he wrote his famous poem,”The Raven”.

A wax figurine forgotten in museum storage. A book of poems that prophesied a ghost. A woman on a beach who found something she wasn't looking for. In the final episode of the Charleston Gothic series, the investigation returns to where it began — the Dock Street Theatre — and follows the last of three trails through Charleston's tangled relationship with Edgar Allan Poe. Along the way, a century-old literary vision resurfaces, a forgotten poet speaks truths the city wasn't ready to hear, and the question that launched the series finally gets its answer.

Classic Edgar Allan Poe horror stories—gothic terror, madness, murder, and psychological dread—all in one chilling anthology. If you love classic horror, dark literature, and Victorian-era nightmares, this Poe compilation is built for you: guilt that won't stay buried, revenge sealed behind bricks, obsession that rots the mind, and survival-horror fear sharpened to a razor's edge.Inside this episode:• The Black Cat — a confession soaked in alcohol-fueled violence, guilt, and the uncanny feeling that something is watching from the dark.• Morella — grief, identity, and a haunting that crawls into the heart of a family and refuses to let go.• The Cask of Amontillado — Poe's coldest revenge tale: a smiling invitation, a wine cellar, and a final brick laid in silence.• The Pit and the Pendulum — pure claustrophobic survival horror: imprisonment, panic, and the merciless countdown of the pendulum's arc.• Berenice — obsession turns grotesque as love, memory, and fixation spiral into something unspeakable.Whether you're here for classic ghost stories, murder confessions, or psychological horror that still hits hard today—press play, turn the lights down, and let Poe do what he does best.
Two noble houses. Centuries of hatred. A prophecy that may mean nothing—or everything. In medieval Hungary, the young Baron Metzengerstein encounters a horse—gigantic, fiery-colored, unlike any creature in his stables. He rides it obsessively. Dawn and midnight. Sickness and health. Riveted to the saddle as if becoming one with the creature. It performs impossible feats. The servants whisper of things they cannot explain. Some souls dwell only once in flesh. After that—only the scarcely tangible resemblance. Publication Details: "Metzengerstein" first appeared anonymously in the Philadelphia Saturday Courier on January 14, 1832, making it Edgar Allan Poe's first published tale. It was later revised and included in Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque in 1840. Author Biography: Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American writer, poet, and literary critic who pioneered the modern short story and detective fiction. His works of Gothic horror and psychological complexity remain among the most influential in world literature. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Watch this episode ad-free by joining the ITBR Patreon! patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroomIn this episode, I sit down with Poe scholar Dr. Amy Branam Armiento to explore why Edgar Allan Poe continues to captivate readers nearly two centuries later. From discovering “The Raven” as a young reader to teaching gothic literature today, Amy shares how Poe's exploration of power dynamics, psychological unraveling, and human vulnerability keeps his work relevant.We discuss the difference between gothic and horror—how gothic literature uses confined spaces and allegory to examine political and societal tensions—and why stories like “The Masque of the Red Death” resonated so deeply during COVID-19.Amy also reflects on today's evolving gothic landscape, where diverse voices are reshaping monster narratives and challenging traditional perspectives. Finally, we address the realities facing academia, including shrinking conference funding and the struggle to balance teaching with scholarship.You can find out more about Amy's work here: https://www.frostburg.edu/academics/colleges-and-departments/english/faculty--staff.phpAnd here's her edited collection of essays: https://www.amazon.com/More-Than-Love-Enduring-Fascination/dp/0881469467~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Use the promo code ivorytower for 20% off your order of Writing on Fire and all Broadview Press books! https://broadviewpress.com/product/writing-on-fire/Follow ITBR on IG @ivorytowerboilerroom and TikTok @dr.andrewrimbyBe sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel where you can watch video episodes of the podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@ivorytowerboilerroomThanks to our following sponsors!

House of Usher (1960), The Pit and the Pendulum (1961), and The Masque of the Red Death (1964) In the beginning of his career as a producer / director Roger Corman was known for cranking out cheap and fast black and white pictures that always made money. He worked in all genres, but it was mainly the horror and sci-fi pictures in the mid to late '60s he was known for. All that changed in 1960, when he convinced AIP to let him adapt a story from Edgar Allan Poe, but in color, with a bigger budget, and longer shooting schedule. That started a new phase of Corman's career, which also made an even bigger star of Vincent Price. In this episode, we take a deep dive into three of these Poe adaptations, and not necessarily looking in the faithfulness of them, but in their production, the incredible casts, the look, the style, as well as the feel of them. They really do get better each and every time you watch them. Hopefully after listening to this episode, you'll decide to either venture down this dark path for the first time, or take a revisit to admire the doom and gloom they all have.

On today's episode of The Rizzuto Show, the prophecy of the Liquid Shadow finally came true… and it struck in someone else's shorts. Yes. You read that correctly. A 317-day Edgar Allan Poe-style prediction ends in betrayal, mesh athletic fabric, and a white couch that almost didn't survive. This is what happens when you trust a fart after 40.We also break down the newest “sport” called Run It Straight — which is basically two grown men sprinting at each other full-speed to see who forgets their childhood first. It's like Red Rover but with CTE. And naturally, Riz wants to start a league in the hallway.Then we address a longtime troll who accidentally linked his LinkedIn to his hate emails (bold strategy), and we introduce a political candidate whose platform is simple: Make America Moon Again. That's right. Responsible, mid-cheek-only patriotism may be the one thing that can unite this divided nation.Plus:• Galentine's Day, Kiss Day, and National Self Love Day• The coolest full name ever revealed (Zayn Hunter Little Rain Graham?!)• Radio Day (you're welcome)• And real RIP tributes at the endIf you like your comedy podcast slightly unhinged but still lovable, welcome home.

Happy Friday the 13th and Valentine's Day weekend. Nothing says romance like Swedish meatballs, felony pickleball charges, and a prophecy called Liquid Shadow finally coming true in someone else's mesh shorts. Yeah. That happened.Make America Moon Again. Rafe's Ememoriam. Friday Fails. Donny at Hardees.On today's episode of The Rizzuto Show, Clownvis storms the studio and helps navigate this superstition season. We break down a legendary St. Louis IKEA shopping experience featuring suspiciously enthusiastic employees and what might've been using Colombian customer service rocket fuel. We also tackle a listener email about marrying someone with zero ambition… because nothing screams “forever” like spaghetti-in-bed energy and motivational drought.Oh, and that 317-day Edgar Allan Poe-level prediction? It ends in betrayal, athletic fabric, and a white couch that barely survived the blast radius.

The final film in director Roger Corman's Edgar Allan Poe cycle, The Tomb of Ligeia marked the second collaboration for Corman and screenwriter Robert Towne. Towne would go on to be one of the hardest working and respected writers and script doctors in Hollywood (The Last Detail, Shampoo, Mission: Impossible, The Firm, Personal Best and Tequila Sunrise) and collect an Academy Award for writing Chinatown. Towne is quoted, however, as saying that his adaptation for The Tomb of Ligeia was the hardest he'd ever worked on. Dan and Vicky discuss the horror film along with plenty of recently seen like films Marty Supreme, Rosemead, Dead Man's Wife, The Lost Bus, Griffin in Summer, Twinless, Is This Thing On?, and TV series Heated Rivalry and Kaos.

Tenesha L. Curtis has been a lover of the dark, disturbing, and deviant since childhood. In her kindergarten and elementary school years, her favorite movies included classics like "Child's Play," "Problem Child," "Candyman," and "Adventures in Babysitting." As she learned to read, she finally broke away from Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys (at the behest of a middle school teacher) and delved into reading literature from artists like Toni Morrison, Edgar Allan Poe, Patricia Cornwell, Mildred D. Taylor, Alvin Schwartz, Ayn Rand, and Maya Angelou. Her fascination with the human psyche led her to earning a master's degree in addictions psychotherapy and working in the mental health world for over a decade. She uses this training and experience to influence straightforward books on writing made especially for newbie authors, and thrilling works of fiction in various genres.

Episode 51: The Unfortunate Pirate For over a century, "Annabel Lee" has been read as Edgar Allan Poe's final love poem—a haunting elegy to his child bride Virginia, written months before his death. But what if we've been wrong about the poem's true subject all along? In this episode, Mike follows a trail of evidence from a forgotten 1827 tale about a murderous pirate to the windswept shores of Sullivan's Island, where Poe was stationed as a young soldier. Along the way, he uncovers a family accusation that pursued Poe his entire life, a poem he was forced to burn, and the testimony of a woman who nursed him through his darkest hours. What emerges is a radical reinterpretation of America's most famous poem of loss—and a story about what it means to defend someone you love when the whole world has turned against them. The grave of Annabel Lee has finally been found. It was never where anyone thought to look.

CHARLESTON GOTHIC Episode 4: Tekeli The Charleston Library Society has survived fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, and war—emerging each time with its treasures intact. Among those treasures: the world's most complete archive of Charleston newspapers from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In this episode, we enter the stacks where a ghost named Hinson is said to wander, where Henry Timrod's blood-stained manuscript bears witness to a poet's final days, and where a century-old scholarly article waited decades for someone to understand what it revealed. What was Edgar Allan Poe really searching for when he visited Charleston's archives during his time at Fort Moultrie? For over a hundred years, the legend said he came looking for pirate treasure—the buried gold that would inspire "The Gold-Bug." But a 1922 discovery by a Texas scholar suggested something far more personal. Following threads that connect the Poetry Society of South Carolina, a Harvard-trained philologist, and the vanished stage of the Charleston Theatre, we trace Poe's footsteps to a secret hidden in plain sight—one that may unlock the strangest passage he ever wrote. The answer lies where it has always been: in the newspapers, in the archives, in the advertisements for a play called Tekeli. Sources: Books - Allen, Hervey.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 5, 2026 is: marginalia mahr-juh-NAY-lee-uh noun Marginalia is a plural noun that refers to notes or other marks written in the margins of a text, and also to nonessential matters or items. // I loved flipping through my literature textbooks to find the marginalia left behind by former students. // She found the documentary's treatment of not only the major events but also the marginalia of Scandinavian history fascinating. See the entry > Examples: “Marginalia have a long history: Leonardo da Vinci famously scribbled thoughts about gravity years before Galileo Galilei published his magnum opus on the subject; the discovery was waiting under our noses in the margins of Leonardo's Codex Arundel.” — Brianne Kane, Scientific American, 19 Sept. 2025 Did you know? In the introduction to his essay titled “Marginalia,” Edgar Allan Poe wrote: “In getting my books, I have always been solicitous of an ample margin; this not so much through any love of the thing in itself, however agreeable, as for the facility it affords me of penciling suggested thoughts, agreements and differences of opinion, or brief critical comments in general.” At the time the essay was first published in 1844, marginalia was only a few decades old despite describing something—notes in the margin of a text—that had existed for centuries. An older word, apostille (or apostil), refers to a single annotation made in a margin, but that word is rarely used today. Even if you are not, like Poe, simply ravenous for scribbling in your own books, you likely know marginalia as a telltale sign that someone has read a particular volume before you.
Find the grave of Annabel Lee and you find the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe! In this episode, a hand-drawn map pulls us through a locked iron gate into Charleston's most overgrown churchyard, where legends gather like mist and names disappear into leaves. A lady in white wanders the paths. Sixty-four people have collapsed before this very gate. We follow the trail of Annabel Lee—the girl Poe loved, or invented, or summoned—and uncover the stranger story beneath the legend: a visiting scholar who survived war and exile, stood before Juliet's Tomb in Verona, and quietly planted a grave that may never have existed. The map points toward a burial—but the real treasure may be hidden elsewhere. What if the grave was a lie but the lie was true?
