Poe is a chilling descent into the mind of Edgar Allan Poe as it fractures under the weight of memory, guilt and imagination. Through shifting shadows and whispered confessions, his most macabre tales, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Cask of Amontillado, The Pit and the Pendulum begin to bleed into reality. As his pulse quickens and time runs thin, the line between story and storyteller begins to dissolve.

Poe’s life was shrouded in mystery. So was his death. This is not a biography. This is a haunting. Venture, if you dare.
