Podcasts about Edgar Allan Poe

En 1845 la frontera entre la ciencia y el espiritismo se difumina en un entorno de creencias poco ortodoxas que fascinan en los círculos esotéricos de la época. La obra del medico y filosofo alemán Franz Mesmer, considerado el padre de la hipnosis moderna, incluyendo su teoría del "magnetismo animal", inspiraron a Edgar Allan Poe en la creación de su trilogía mesmérica, cuyo relato más afamado, es nuestra historia de esta noche. Durante años, los entusiastas del mesmerismo pensaron que podría tratarse de un testimonio real, y Poe fue interrogado a este respecto en múltiples ocasiones... Pero, confesó Poe si el relato era real? Averígüenlo amigos, acomodándose en su cubil favorito...

Det var inte elgitarren som var den stora revolten. Hynek Pallas om Bob Dylans kristna år som fick publiken att rasa och som får Blowin in the wind att låta som en psalm. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Under ett besök på Bob Dylancentret i staden Tulsa i Oklahoma lyckades jag charma mig till att få rota i centrumets heliga graal – det för allmänheten stängda Dylanarkivet.Arkivarien hade redan börjat plocka fram saker som vanligtvis efterfrågas, som arkivlådor med utkast till 1960-talets kända Dylanlåtar, när jag försynt frågade om man kanske hellre hade något från sångarens år som nyfrälst kristen?Enligt den uttjatade myten om Bob Dylan, ältad i biografier, dokumentärer och film, var hans mest kontroversiella konstnärliga val att hänga på sig en elgitarr. Men när Bob Dylan den 1 november 1979 klev ut på den nedsläckta Fox Warfield-teatern i San Francisco blev resultatet ett ramaskri större än något tidigare under hans karriär.Innan Dylan gick upp på scenen den kvällen fick en förvirrad publik höra sångerskan Regina Havis berätta en historia om Jesus och sjunga gospel. När ljuset tändes kastade sig Dylan och hans band in i sången Gotta serve somebody, från skivan Slow Train Coming.”You might be a rock 'n' roll addict prancing on the stage”, sjöng Dylan i en konfrontativ straffpredikan över ogudaktighet. John Lennon var den förste, men långt ifrån den siste, att göra narr av texten. Eller av de övriga låtar som Dylan spelade den där kvällen och de närmaste åren. Låtar som uteslutande handlade om sångarens kristna pånyttfödelse.Jag drogs till den frälste Dylan för att det var motvalls. I den elitistiska värld av kassettbandssamlande Dylanmän jag klev in i som 25-åring var det ingen som brydde sig om de kristna åren. Många hade varit med när det begav sig. Då en, som de såg det, progressiv rockmusikerpoet, en messias med antikrigsbudskap och existentiella visor, i stället började citera Bibeln. Sjöng om att man måste underkasta sig något.Eller som Dylan väsande förklarade för publiken när de ropade efter ”rock n roll” under en konsert i Arizona 1979: "If you want rock 'n' roll, you go down and rock 'n' roll. You can go and see KISS and you can rock 'n' roll all the way down to the pit!"Om du vill ha rock n roll så kan du gå och se KISS och rocka hela vägen ner i helvetet.Så även om de kristna åren inte längre var ett färskt svek för dessa Dylanmän, så förblev de svårförståeliga.Själv var jag en ateist med judisk bakgrund. Uppväxt bland muslimer – och av nyfikenhet på andras religiositet just examinerad från islamologistudier. Det tog heller inte lång tid för eventuellt motstånd att släppa när jag började lyssna på inspelningarna från Dylans kristna konserter. På kassett efter kassett hördes ju en passion och övertygelse hos sångaren som jag sällan har hört förr eller senare.Dylan har berättat att han har sökt efter konstnärliga processer som ska hjälpa honom att återskapa det omedvetna sätt han gjorde musik på 1960-talet. Om Bibelstudier var en metod för att nå dit vet jag inte. Men form och funktion – och möjligen lite gudomlig nåd – ska uppenbarligen inte underskattas. Konserterna från åren kring 1980 är som baptistgudstjänster under ledning av den häcklande Dylan man känner igen från låtar som Positively 4th street och Like a rolling stone.Men nu bär han väckelsepredikantens skrud – han varnar för frestelser och äcklas av forna vänner.När Dylan fick Nobelpriset skrev jag om min fascination för hans frälsta år. Där någonstans gick gränsen även för dem som tyckte att han var värd priset. Att knycka rader av Edgar Allan Poe? Ja, geni! Att sjunga Korinterbrevet? Nej… bara nej.Att det väcker löje är intressant. Det hänger samman med föreställningar om autenticitet. Hur religion och hudfärg samspelar i det amerikanska samhället och dess popkultur. Och vilken roll just Dylan spelar i denna.Dylans rebellstatus etablerades med tanken att han ”vågade” reta gallfeber på folkmusiketablissemanget med elgitarren. En tandlös myt som stelnade till legend efter att en häcklare i publiken 1966 skrek ”Judas!”. Efter det uppfattades Dylan som en friare och mer autentisk rockkonstnär än samtidskollegorna någonsin kunde bli.Det är också därför det val Dylan gjorde 1979, trots att det var konstnärligt lika mycket som religiöst, aldrig har betraktats som rebelliskt. Hans uppror följde ju inte motståndskulturens mall för uppror.Men inte bara var det modigare, till och med i musiken känns det genuint. För vem, om inte någon med inget att förlora och allt att vinna, skulle annars välja att sjunga om underkastelse, dop och frälsning?Här finns också något jag påmindes om på en Stockholmskonsert med ett hajpat svart gospelband från amerikanska södern. Bandet var väldigt kristna. Något den hippa urbana publiken svalde med hull och hår, hur tveksamt konservativa saker som än uttrycktes från scenen. Fram tills det att bandet började låna ut mikrofonen till svenska vänner de träffat i en kyrka här. När vita kvinnor i cowboyhatt började waila om fostrets rätt till liv, märktes tydligt kontrasten i vilka budskap vi kan svälja beroende på avsändare. Det är en hudfärgsaspekt som många helst ignorerar i sammanhanget. Än idag är det för många lättare att acceptera en svart amerikansk musiker som i sina texter och sitt mellanprat predikar Jesu lära, än en vit artist som gör det. De senare tolkas ryggmärgsmässigt som konservativa på ett negativt vis. Det är en kristendom som kopplas till abortmotstånd, skattefuskande tv-predikanter och rasism.Den svarta kyrkan är i våra ögon mer autentisk. Något härligt och gungande som filtrerats genom decennier av populärkultur. Lite mer naturlig religion. Vilket inte är mindre exotifierande och rasistiskt än att tala om att svarta skulle ha ”rytmen i blodet”.Att Dylan spelade in sina kristna skivor i en anrik studio i Alabama där svarta soulband, med vilka han delade musiker, hade spelat in gospel var ingen slump. Resultatet låter också fantastiskt. Men länge var det bortkastat på en publik som inte kunde acceptera ekvationen Bibeln och Bob.Det var också därför jag visste precis vad jag ville att den häpne arkivarien i Tulsa skulle ta fram. På de aldrig visade filmerna från 1980 sitter Dylan i karaktäristisk skinnjacka, med sina svarta solglasögon och sitt krulliga hår vid en flygel i en lokal som ser ut som gymnastiksalen i en svensk högstadieskola. Han kantas av svarta körsångerskor. Bandet spelar City of Gold – en egenskriven gospel med text från Uppenbarelseboken. Den går över i Blowin in the wind. Som aldrig har låtit lika bra, eller lika mycket som att den skrevs för en kyrka.

Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867) fue un poeta, crítico de arte y traductor francés, considerado una de las figuras más influyentes de la literatura moderna. Es especialmente conocido por su obra Les Fleurs du mal (Las flores del mal, 1857), un libro de poemas que causó escándalo en su época por tratar temas como la sensualidad, el tedio, el spleen (melancolía existencial), la muerte y el satanismo. Combina el romanticismo con un estilo pre-simbolista, precursor del modernismo.Temas recurrentes: Belleza en lo decadente, lo prohibido, lo urbano, la dualidad del alma humana (ángel/demonio), el hastío moderno.Lenguaje: Rico en simbolismo, imágenes sensoriales y musicalidad poética. Obra principal:Las flores del mal incluye secciones como:Spleen et Idéal (el alma dividida entre lo sublime y lo miserable), Tableaux parisiens (poemas sobre la ciudad de París), Révolte (la rebelión contra Dios o el orden), La Mort (reflexiones sobre la muerte).Seis poemas del libro fueron censurados por "ofensa a la moral pública", y Baudelaire fue multado. Esa censura no se levantó en Francia sino hasta 1949. Es considerado uno de los padres de la poesía moderna.Fue una gran influencia para los simbolistas (como Verlaine, Rimbaud y Mallarmé) y para poetas del siglo XX como T. S. Eliot y Paul Valéry. También tradujo la obra de Edgar Allan Poe al francés, ayudando a difundirla en Europa.

We're back with our continuing fourth collection. This week it's: "The Sphinx" by Edgar Allan Poe.

Irma and Karen answer a listener question about the transition from emerging writer to established, then chat about their latest reading recommendations.Then Karen talks to poet Robbie Coburn about how discovering Edgar Allan Poe when he was 14 was like being let out of jail, how mimicking great writers can help develop your writing early on, how he connects poems to memories like songs, the best way for poets to get their work out into the world, the value of mentorship for poets, why allowing horses to gallop into his work helped him find himself as a writer, how to persist despite devastating rejection, and how his granny would have been proud of him receiving an award sticker for his verse novel.About Robbie Robbie Coburn is the author of several poetry collections and a young adult verse novel The Foal in the Wire. He has published several chapbooks and zines, and his poems have been published in numerous Australian and international journals. He has run poetry workshops for Headspace – a youth mental health organisation. He grew up on a farm in regional Victoria and now lives in Melbourne.Find out more about Irma and KarenVisit Irma Gold's website, or follow her on Instagram and FacebookVisit Karen Viggers' website, or follow her on Instagram and FacebookFollow Secrets From the Green Room on Instagram and Facebook

While we are on a break, enjoy this episode from Season 2. Season 3 starts May 19!Week 39 of Ted Gioia's Immersive Humanities Course takes on nineteenth-century American literature. To my surprise, this became one of the most enjoyable weeks so far. I went in dreading familiar names and old high-school resentments, but came out newly energized. Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (chapters 1–6) was funny, humane, and immediately engaging. Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher and “The Raven” used ornate language to heighten unease, while Emily Dickinson's poems felt weightless and startlingly modern. Henry David Thoreau's Walden was quotable and provocative, if ultimately grating, and Herman Melville surprised me most of all: Bartleby, the Scrivener lingered with quiet power, and the opening of Moby-Dick left me eager for more. This week revealed a real shift in voice and sensibility—and changed my mind about American literature. I'm looking forward to going back and reading more, but first we need to move on to Week 40 and Russian Literature!LINKTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)

Barker is widely recognized for his skill as a prose stylist in books like They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers--skills that he developed through a lifelong practice of composing poetry, most of which remained unpublished at the time of his death.In Behold the Behemouth, Gabriel Mckee (author of the biography The Saucerian: UFOs, Men in Black, and the Unbelievable Life of Gray Barker) compiles all of Barker's surviving poetry, from his early experiments as a college student through enigmatic verse about UFOs and other uncanny subjects in his later career.At turns melancholic, otherworldly, and side-splittingly hilarious, Barker's poetical writings enrich the picture of midcentury ufology in general and the life of this peculiar literary outsider in particular.Gabriel visits with Talking Weird to chat about the amazing life and poems of Gray Barker, who was one of the most influential and fascinating figures of Ufology.This is an enthralling episode, filled with stories about early Ufology, that you do not want to miss!

"El Sabueso" (The Hound), escrito en 1922 y publicado en 1924 en la mítica revista Weird Tales, no es solo un cuento de terror; es el puente definitivo entre el horror gótico tradicional y el horror cósmico que definiría la carrera de Lovecraft.La historia narra el descenso a la locura de dos amigos, el narrador y su compañero St. John. Hartos de la banalidad del mundo moderno, ambos se convierten en estetas de lo macabro, dedicándose a saquear tumbas antiguas para alimentar un museo privado lleno de reliquias necrófilas.Su perdición comienza en un cementerio de Holanda, donde desentierran los restos de un profanador de tumbas del siglo XVIII. Del cuello del cadáver extraen un amuleto de jade verde con la efigie de un perro alado. A partir de ese momento, el aire se llena de un aullido constante y el sonido de alas pesadas. Uno a uno, los protagonistas descubren que no se puede robar a los muertos sin que algo de "el otro lado" venga a reclamar su propiedad.Este relato es históricamente vital porque marca la primera mención en la literatura del Necronomicón, el grimorio ficticio de Abdul Alhazred. Aquí, Lovecraft lo introduce no como un libro de hechizos, sino como un registro de ritos prohibidos y advertencias sobre las entidades que habitan en los umbrales de la realidad.El objeto es el motor de la trama. Representa el vínculo físico entre la codicia humana y las fuerzas sobrenaturales. Su descripción sugiere una conexión con el culto a los Ghouls (Gules), seres que Lovecraft desarrollaría más tarde, estableciendo que hay una jerarquía de criaturas que protegen los cementerios.A diferencia de otros relatos donde el horror es puramente alienígena, aquí Lovecraft se sumerge en el decadentismo. Los protagonistas buscan el placer en lo "enfermo" y lo "muerto", una temática inspirada en autores como Edgar Allan Poe y Baudelaire.El relato se divide en tres fases psicológicas que puedes resaltar en tu audiolibro:La Arrogancia: La creencia de que pueden controlar lo oculto y que el saqueo es una forma de arte superior.El Acoso: La manifestación de lo sobrenatural a través de los sentidos (oído y tacto), creando una atmósfera de paranoia creciente.La Inevitabilidad: El clímax en el que el narrador se da cuenta de que la criatura es física, implacable y que su destino está sellado.Aunque "El Sabueso" se siente como un cuento gótico de fantasmas, sienta las bases del horror cósmico al sugerir que:Existen cultos ancestrales que preceden a la humanidad.Ciertos objetos actúan como faros para entidades de otras dimensiones.El conocimiento prohibido (el Necronomicón) es una sentencia de muerte para quien lo posee.

De skelettstylade garagerockarna The Dahmers bildades efter en Halloweenfest 2011. Trummisen Karl Oskar Hansson och frontfiguren Christoffer Karlsson hade känt varandra sedan högstadiet då de var Bromöllas enda punkare. "Det fanns inte så mycket att göra där", minns Christoffer. "Antingen spelade man fotboll eller så spelade man musik. Eller så var man nynazist." Hemma hos Strage pratar The Dahmers bland annat om kärleken till The Stooges, Joan Jett och Screaming Lord Sutch, om filmerna som skrämde livet ur dem som barn, om att besöka huset där "Motorsågsmassakern" spelades in, om sitt nya album "Creature feature", om att bota hjärtesorg med Edgar Allan Poes poesi och om varför det är "borgerligt" att rengöra scannern när man designar t-shirts.

THIS IS PART TWO - Listen to part one hereCONTENT HEADS UP:  This episode contains discussions of death, dying, end-of-life care, and sensitive topics related to mortality, including chosen suicide and medicalization of death and illness. Listener discretion is advised, especially for individuals who may find these topics distressing or triggering. Please prioritize your emotional well-being while engaging with this content.Also, Ali wants to note that when she asks Karen about her thoughts on suicide, she meant to make a disctinction between “chosen” suicide (when someone wants to live but they are in too much physical pain/their body is too deteriorated without hope of recovery) and “suicide under duress” (meaning due to emotional/psychological/spiritual pain, that may or may not be accompanied by an unavoidably dying body, the person does not want to live). Of course facing a death someone does not want can also be considered duress!  SYNOPSIS:What does good acting and dying have in common? In this episode, Ali discusses all things death, dying, and living as bodies with Karen Bellone, Certified End-of-Life Doula and Death Educator. They focus on the interconnectedness of life and death, the significance of conscious living, and the complexities of end-of-life care. Karen shares her experiences working with dying individuals, highlighting the challenges of the dying process, including issues related to dementia and Alzheimer's. They discuss the importance of compassionate and holistic approaches to end-of-life care, emphasizing the need for conscious decision-making aligned with personal values to achieve a good death without regrets. Throughout the conversation, they reflect on the essence of embodiment and the importance of being present in the moment, trusting the intelligence of the body to embrace a richer life and ultimately a better death.  ALI & KAREN EXPLORATION POINTS:-  The concept of a 'good death,' this discussion emphasizes the significance of conscious decision-making and holistic approaches to end-of-life care, challenging societal norms and perceptions surrounding death.  -  The complexities, ethical considerations and medicalization surrounding end-of-life decisions, highlighting the need for open dialogue and support for individuals facing such choices.-  The role of a Death Doula, illuminating the profound support and guidance provided by these compassionate professionals in assisting individuals and families through the dying process, fostering a sense of empowerment and comfort.-  How our physical and emotional bodies communicate and play integral roles in the dying process, highlighting the importance of listening to and honoring the body's wisdom. -  Insights into embracing conscious living, pursuing meaningful experiences, and aligning actions with personal values to cultivate a sense of fulfillment and purpose.-  Sensory experiences shape our perception of life and death, emphasizing the significance of sensory elements in the dying process and fostering connections with loved ones.To be an angel to the podcast, click here: To read more about the podcast, click here: MORE ALI MEZEY:Website BODY MAPPING VIDEO LIBRARYPersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course informationTransgenerational Healing FilmsMORE KAREN BELLONE:Film Website: Website: The Seventh Sense BIO:Founder, Doula, Educator: Karen Bellone, MFA, is a Certified End-of-Life Doula and Death Educator.

In addition to working with patients in various stages of their life journeys, she was responsible for training the volunteer staff, nurses and other hospice and medical professionals to bring more understanding, humanity and compassion into their work with the dying. She spoke regularly with groups, such as the Alzheimer's Project, about the role of the doula at end-of-life, and the space that can be held to bring about ‘a good death'. She believes strongly in the ability to demystify and assuage the fear that surrounds death in our culture and to foster safe passage for the dying, as well as to aid the families and loved ones through grief and bereavement.As a visual artist and storyteller, Karen acquired a multitude of skills throughout her career that unlocked a deep passion for the healing power of visual and auditory perception on human consciousness. She integrated these strengths and resources into tools to bring aid and comfort for those imminently facing their mortality. Working with somatic and sensory awareness, Karen utilizes visual, sound and meditation therapy, personalized guided imagery, and commemoration of the sacred in the form of ritual, legacy and memory work, in order to bring comfort - physically, emotionally, spiritually to celebrate and commemorate the life of the individual. In addition to her ongoing private practice, Karen is currently directing a feature film about living American artist Michelle Stuart, whose work also engages with the elemental and ineffable nature of existence.RESOURCES:Edgar Allan PoeErik EriksonExit strategy for dying (Karen's monthly newsletter)Omega Home NetworkAll...

Hey — let's talk Gothic. If you loved the Wuthering Heights episode but aren't sure what “Gothic” means, here's a friendly, no‑pressure rundown: it's a literary vibe that exploded in the late 1700s and early 1800s (part of Romanticism) and stuck around because people couldn't get enough of spooky mystery, big feelings, and weird houses. At its core Gothic mixes suspense and the supernatural with secrets from the past: ghosts (or things that feel like ghosts), hidden diaries or cursed heirlooms, murmured scandals, and the sense that history is still very much alive — and maybe angry. Stories often leave the door open between a rational explanation and the uncanny, so you're always wondering what's real. The setting matters: remote, isolated places—windy moors, stormy cliffs, spooky woods, and usually a grand but slightly crumbling manor. That atmosphere of beauty plus decay is basically Gothic's aesthetic fingerprint. Protagonists are frequently women, which made these books especially thrilling for female readers back when options for adventurous stories were limited. Other common threads: intense emotion over reason, troubled or doomed romances, the ever‑present shadow of death, and objects that carry memory or menace. Short stories work great as an intro (hello, Poe), and novellas are perfect if you want a quick, delicious chill. Gothic isn't one thing — it splinters into cool subgenres. Southern Gothic, for example, folds in religious hypocrisy, the legacy of violence, and heavy landscape feeling. Contemporary takes like Mexican Gothic (Silvia Moreno‑Garcia) remix classic Gothic tropes—isolated mansions, family secrets—with new cultures, histories, and anxieties. Other great touchstones: Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Rebecca, The Turn of the Screw (Bly Manor), Shirley Jackson's Hill House, Daphne du Maurier, Edgar Allan Poe, and even films like Crimson Peak that lean into the look and mood. Gothic also shows up in real cultural practices and local histories: think of rituals that try to heal a place's memory or reckon with past violence. Those real world echoes are part of what keeps the genre alive and relevant — it's not just spooky houses, it's how communities remember and reckon with what happened there. If you want to dive in, try a Poe short story, a classic like Jane Eyre, or a modern pick like Mexican Gothic or a T. Kingfisher novella. And hey — if you've got favorites, tell us. I want to know what weird, moody books give you chills.

"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]

Plus, we analyze the moral dilemmas at the story's core and what they reveal about human nature when perception is twisted.This episode is perfect for anyone curious about the limits of human senses, the power of perspective, and the dark complexities lurking beneath surface appearances.

It is a privilege to welcome back my friend, Jeff Azar, aka Demi the Daredevil, to Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.  Hailing from El Paso, Texas, Demi, went from being the drummer to being a singer after the original lead singer, Jovan Ortiz, suddenly passed away. With this loss and his mental health struggles as catalysts, Jeff reimagined the band's identity as an evocative blend of theatrical alt-pop, haunting soundscapes, and dark, introspective lyrics, creating anthems for other misfits who feel lost, misunderstood, and searching for their unique voice.  With influences ranging from Tim Burton to Edgar Allan Poe, Demi the Daredevil's music delves into themes of identity, mental illness, existentialism, and the complexities of the human experience. This gives the listener a deep, relatable sense of meaning, creating a safe space and a sense of community for the underdog. Not only does the brand avatar reflect the audience's identity, but it also offers a signature allure for collaborations and partnerships.  He has garnered over 25 million Spotify streams and over 1,000 pieces of fan art from the “devilins” (his fanbase). Buzzfeed, CBS, Crank That Frank, and Emo Nite have profiled Demi, while several songs, such as “Call in Dead,” have been featured on Trebel's homepage and Pandora's “AMP Fresh Cuts” playlist.  On this edition of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Demi the Daredevil spoke about his 10th anniversary and the stories behind several songs, including “Cursed House” with AViVA.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.

Step into the strange and biting world of Edgar Allan Poe's Lionizing, a sharp gothic satire that blends dark humor, social commentary, and Poe's signature fascination with vanity, status, and human absurdity. In this unforgettable classic, a man's rise to fame is built on something as ridiculous as it is disturbing — and the higher he climbs into fashionable society, the more twisted the praise, obsession, and cruelty become.If you love Edgar Allan Poe stories, classic horror, gothic fiction, macabre satire, and eerie tales that expose the ugliness hiding beneath beauty and popularity, this episode delivers a weird, witty, and wonderfully unsettling listen. Lionizing is a perfect example of Poe's ability to mix the bizarre with the brilliant, turning a strange premise into a chilling reflection on ego, reputation, and the madness of public adoration.Lionizing — by Edgar Allan Poe

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

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.

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.

In this episode we cover a little of Poe's life, then two of his famous stories.

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.   Sources referenced in the episode: Books Israfel: The Life and Times of Edgar Allan Poe by  Hervey Allen (1926) Carolina Chansons: Legends of the Low Country  by DuBose Heyward and Hervey Allen (1922) The Arrow of Lightning by Beatrice Witte Ravenel (1926) The Dreamer: A Romantic Rendering of the Life-Story of Edgar Allan Poe  by Mary Newton Stanard Edgar Allan Poe's Charleston  by Christopher Byrd Downey Poe's Brother: The Poems of William Henry Leonard Poe by Hervey Allen and Thomas Ollive Mabbott Ghosts and Legends of Charleston by Denise Rolfe (2010) Poe-Land by J.W.

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

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.   Sources Referenced in Episode 51: The Unfortunate Pirate Primary Sources & Archival Materials Ellis & Allan Papers, Library of Congress (John Allan's 1824 letter to William Henry Leonard Poe) Charleston Courier, December 4, 1807 ("The Mourner" by D.M.C.; theatrical advertisements for Placide's company) Charleston News and Courier, September 15, 1912 (account of the Pirate's House legend) The North American (Baltimore periodical containing "The Pirate" by W.H.P., published November 27, 1827) Flag of Our Union (Boston, 1849 — publication of "To My Mother") New York Tribune (publication of "Annabel Lee," October 1849) Broadway Journal, 1845 (Poe's defense of his mother's profession) John Henry Ingram correspondence with Marie Louise Shew (1875–1877) Works by Edgar Allan Poe "Annabel Lee" (1849) "To My Mother" (1849) "Song" (from Tamerlane and Other Poems, 1827) "To M.
