About this listen

The scariest monsters are the ones that lurk within our souls, a horrifying quote from the master of the macabre himself, Edgar Allan Poe. His life and tragic death have permeated the world of literature for the past two centuries, and the mystery of it all has fascinated those who like to satisfy their morbid curiosities for just as long. In 1849, Edgar Allan Poe disappeared, without a trace, for six whole days, and when he reappeared, he was in an alarming state of delirium for another few days before passing away in a Baltimore hospital. The circumstances, official cause, and official manner of Poe’s death remain elusive to this day, leaving us all with the question of what in the world could have happened to him.
