Renowned as the ‘Godfather of Gothic Horror’, Edgar Allan Poe was a pioneer in establishing the horror genre.

Although his works are nearly 200 years old, Poe’s stories have stood the test of time.

Using the original publications from the 1840s, one actor faithfully brings Poe’s words to life like never before.
