An unknown man keeps to the shadows.

In a writing career that spanned barely two decades (he died in his 41st year) Edgar Allan Poe penned over 70 short stories. These the American incessantly revised over the years and many became standards of the short form (like β€˜The Fall Of The House of Usher’ or β€˜The Pit and the Pendulum’).

But for our five fictional tales, we burrow down amongst Poe’s lesser-known, and often dark, gems.

Read by Owen Teale.
