Tom Van Mieghem will take us on a journey to discover Poe through his written tales and biography, including:

'The Mask of the Red Dead' - an insane prince attempts to fight a monster by partying.
'Annabel Lee' written for Poe's lost beloved. .
‘The Tell Tale Heart' - a murderer in denial....
'The Lighthouse' - Poe died before finishing this story but Van Mieghem creates a new ending that as an outstanding finale
