Happy Halloween! We have a special Halloween episode today - we're talking about one of the creepiest authors in the American canon, Edgar Allan Poe. We talk about his (short) life and his problematic life and legacy as well as a selection of short stories and one poem. You know which poem - The Raven. We want to acknowledge our sources for the information on his bio: National Public Radio, Wikipedia, and Southeastern Louisiana University, in particular an English paper on racism in Poe's works by John Adam Shelton. 

This is our last episode of Season One, but we'll be back in your ears on Dec. 2nd! We may drop in some minisodes on the Elizabeth Holmes trial in November, so keep an eye out. And our social media feeds on Instagram and Facebook (propervillainsbooks) will be active.
