    Poem: Spirits of the Dead
    Sep 7 2024

    Send a text to the podcast

    Edgar Allan Poe is known for his gothic poetry, and this is one of my favorites. Spirits of the Dead perfectly blends together the human mourning and mysterious nature of death, with contemplations that come from long nights he spent sitting alone, surely remembering those he had loved and lost. I often think of Poe and what writing meant to him. He struggled financially all his life, just to be able to write. This poem tells me why he wrote.

  • Ghost Story: The Striding Place

    Ghost Story: The Striding Place

    Today we enjoy one of the most famous ghost stories of the Victorian era, one of the most memorable of works from Gertrude Atherton. If you enjoy the macabre, drab nature of a silent walk on a lonely night or the terror of being swept away by the strong current of a river...beware The Striding Place. A terrific metaphor for the fear of the unknown and the impact of death upon those still living.

  • Poem: The City in the Sea

    Poem: The City in the Sea
    Aug 7 2024

    Send a text to the podcast

    Edgar Allan Poe wrote this creepy poem as a young man serving in the military. With its intense atmosphere and vivid details of the macabre surroundings describing this ghost town, it's possible he could have been writing about his own horrific experiences during his service. Come along and take a journey through the city in the sea.
