Did you know Edgar Allan Poe once suggested that the United States be renamed Appalachia? While we may not agree with all his ideas (and potential future crimes), that one hits home. Amber Koch joins us in the studio to break down Poe’s influence, his bizarre life, and how she’s channeling his spirit into her upcoming poetry collection Appalachian Gothic.

Amber’s book reimagines Poe in haunting, poetic tales rooted in West Virginia’s backwoods and history. She even treats us to a live reading of an original piece that will absolutely give you chills. Don’t miss this beautifully strange journey, releasing December 5.
