Edgar Allan Poe’s life was just as mysterious as his death.
Poe became an orphan just before his third birthday after his mother died in tuberculosis and his father abandoned the family. In his late teens, Poe lost his foster mother he had had a very close relationship with. Later, he also lost his wife at the age of just 22.
There are periods of Poe’s life that are poorly documented, full of gaps and mysteries, including a period from 1826 – 1833 and his final days.
At the age of 40, Edgar Allan Poe was found at Baltimore nearly unresponsive. He was taken to the hospital where he drifted in and out of consciousness. He was hallucinating and speaking nonsense when he was awake. An eerie detail is that he was found not wearing his own clothes. Instead of his usual black wool suit, he was wearing an ill-fitting cheap suit and a straw hat.
Edgar Allan Poe died on the 7th October 1849.
His is famous for his horror stories focusing on paranoia, betrayal, loss, and murder. Some his most famous – and scariest – stories are The Tell-Tale Heart, The Black Cat, The Raven, and The Masque of the Red Death.
These are the stories that will be taken off the page and one to the stage by Poe historians at the Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy.
