Send us a text Welcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 386 - What Did Whitman Sound Like, 1 In previous years, I have always done episodes about Walt Whitman simply by talking about his life. I did not use the format of me talking in the first person, and asking questions from Walt Whitman because I simply didn't know where to start regarding the topic of what did Walt Whitman sound like. There is a controversial recording of what may have been Whitman's voice, but it is a very poor quality...

My name is George Bartley, and for the rest of this series, I want to really look into a house that might not make it into Better Homes and Gardens - but is often classified as Edgar Allan Poe’s greatest work. The story is definitely Gothic in tone, complicated from a psychological standpoint, and a great example of how Poe dealt with vampiric characters and themes. Madeline and Roderick Usher are both vam...

This motif explores duality, fragmented identity, and moral conflict, serving as a ref...

Unfortunately, the story has a lot of archaic words that we just don’t use any more - so I think a better way to look at The Black Vampyre is tell its overall story - rather ahead of its time for period in which it was written.’ The full title of the short story is The Black Vampyre, and was s...
