Welcome back to A Podcask of Amontillado, where we delve into the dark, dreadful, and terrifying parts of the world.

Our apologies for being away, dear Connoisseurs, but life has been a bit out of sorts in the Catacombs. Never fear though, Erin & Gary now return, with a topic they’ve been dying to cover, with a plethora of guests, for a discussion of the one and only Edgar Allan Poe!

Listen in as they are joined by Misty Massey, R. E. Carr, and L. Marie Wood as they discuss the new anthology “Nevermore: Tales Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe”, examine the work & influence of this beloved author, the many genres of Poe, the interpretations of his works, the stories that speak to them, breaking genre restrictions, how to get into an anthology, the changing standards of middle school, the truths & exaggerations of Poe’s life, the real horror – marketing, the importance of not letting works fall into obscurity, the terror of birds, facing death in Poe’s time vs now, Gary is wrong about something, and Shakespeare vs Jar Jar Binks?
