About this listen

For the month of October, we’ll occasionally release some spooky stories and poems of classic literature, read by the hosts and friends. This episode:

The poem “The Kraken,” by Alfred Lord Tennyson. Drawing on imagery of the Leviathan from Scripture and other legends and mysteries, Tennyson draws a picture of the mythical Kraken which will sleep at the ocean floor until the world ends in fire.
