Ep 112: Edgar Allan Poe, Evermore

Most of the authors we meet in school don’t stick with us as personalities. We remember the stories they create more than we remember them. That’s not true for dear Edgar. In fact the lines between fact and fiction become so blurry when he’s nearby that it’s no small task to keep the man and his work separate. And that’s just the way he wanted it.

Come on, let’s dive in before something starts rapping at your chamber door.
