History That Doesn't Suck

Chapters

This chapter details the mysterious circumstances surrounding Edgar Allan Poe's final days, including his illness, confusion, and eventual death.

Shownotes Transcript

‘How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily—how calmly I can tell you the whole story.”

This is the story of a man driven to madness by a pale blue eye; the story of a man who’s vowed revenge; of a young scholar heartbroken by death. This is also the story of the man who brought us these three tales–one of the most grim and ghastly Gothic authors in American history–Edgar Allan Poe.

This episode is best enjoyed alone. In the dark. With headphones.

Happy Halloween!
