Unlock the macabre world of Edgar Allan Poe in the Nightmares & Grief Halloween Special: "Selections from Poe." Join for an hour and a half of mystery, madness, and murder as we dive into the dark and haunting tales of this master of gothic horror. In this episode, your host delves into four of Poe's most iconic works: "Masque of the Red Death" [start: 00:30] an extravagant masquerade which reminds us that, in the end, no one can escape. "Hop-Frog" [start: 19:30] a story of oppression and revenge. Remember, in comedy, it's essential always to punch up, not down. "The Black Cat" [start: 46:00] a chilling exploration of guilt and madness. A ghost? A synchronicity? A gin-inspired delusion? Only you can decide. "The Raven" [start: 1:16:00] a timeless classic of sorrow and the supernatural. Prepare for an immersive journey through Poe's literary mastery, where horror and poetry intertwine. Settle in, check under the bed, and pour a drink for the skeletons in your closet. It's time to bring these classics to life.Find more of my work at ⁠www.nightmaresandgrief.com⁠ or on ⁠YouTube⁠.Unlock early episodes and bonus content on Patreon at ⁠www.patreon.com/nightmaresandgrief
