Poe & Richard Parker Coincidence | The Dark Record | Ep. 30


Listen Later

In 1838, Edgar Allan Poe published a novel about shipwrecked sailors resorting to cannibalism, choosing a cabin boy named Richard Parker as their victim. Nearly fifty years later, a real shipwreck occurred—and the crew also cannibalized a cabin boy named Richard Parker. The eerie coincidence has baffled literary scholars and historians ever since. In this episode, we explore the strange overlap of fiction and reality in the Richard Parker coincidence.
