Immerse yourselves in two timeless Edgar Allan Poe classics.Arguably Poe's darkest tale, 'The Black Cat' depicts an alcoholic's last confession on the eve of his death. Then, the poem that made Poe famous: 'The Raven'. In the midnight hour, an elderly man laments the loss of his love, when an ominous visitor is heard tapping on his chamber door.
'One Man Poe' brings Poe's words to life as never before.
