Just in time for Halloween, but good for any time you're feeling like you need a spooky kick in the literary brainpan.  

The Raven was first published in January, 1845 by the dark and troubled poet, Edgar Allan Poe.  He would die, a mysterious death, four short years later and leave generations of to wonder about him. Makes you kinda' want a whole HILF episode about him, don't it?  ...stay tuned.

The haunting music that underscores is by Lucas King.
