About this listen

This week we cover the early life of Edgar Allan Poe, one of the most famous 19th century American authors. Poe's life was about as mysterious and macabre as his writings in gothic literature. Hear tales of Poe as a child, the events that molded him into young adulthood, and the tragedies as well as the triumphs that influenced him to become one of the most renowned dark poets in history. Join us for this case of The Darkives as we 'tear up the planks!'' of his biography and learn the true story of Edgar Allan Poe. And as for next week Quoth the Darkives "we'll have more!"
