ARE YOU BRAVE ENOUGH TO STEP INTO THE DARKNESS?
Edgar Allan Poe did not truly die. In the years since his mysterious demise, his works have captivated millions and spawned the genres of horror and the detective story. His masterpieces — filled with talking ravens and buried women, haunted houses and beating hearts — live on in our imaginations and our nightmares. His most famous stories (The Raven, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Tell Tale Heart) are endlessly adapted, parodied and obsessed over. His darkness has shaped our world.
But who was Edgar Allan Poe? And why does he haunt us still?
Following the course of Poe’s fascinating, short and tragic life — from his strange disappearances and tortured romances to his nearly fatal use of opium — Emily Ogden dives deep into the mind of the man who authored the world’s most famous and enduring horrors.
Edgar Allan Poe’s darkness surrounds us. Might it also help us to see the light?
