Yes, that’s right. Victorian ghost stories are becoming a regular occurrence on The Poe Show! This time, our ghost story from 1858 follows a man who happens to dine with the devil. After dinner, the two travel to their “journey’s end” together, passing many other lost souls. James Hain Friswell wrote this spooky winter tale over 160 years ago, but the dreary and ghostly narrative is as entertaining today as it has ever been! Now, please enjoy The Oxford Ghost. Otherwise known as...Christmas Dinner with the Devil.

It's the holiday season, so you know I have to give you an episode all about Christmas! I took off the month of November because I've been so busy, but I'll be finishing up this year strong with two December episodes. Keep an eye out for another Victorian ghost story, coming December 21st for all who enjoy the tradition of spooky tales for the cold winter!

Twas the Night Before Christmas comes all the way from 1823, written by Clement Clarke Moore...most likely. In this episode I'll also be giving you a little history on the poem, the controversy of its authorship, and how Santa Claus has changed through American and world culture. I also pulled out a tune I wrote about 5 years ago for this episode, which sounded perfect for a Christmas story. Lastly, I do talk a bit about AI. Just a bit.

Now, please enjoy The Night Before Christmas.

For this new season of The Poe Show podcast, I am so glad to introduce a new guest narrator to this episode who will narrate some of their own poems. He is one of the most famous American poets of all time, having written 256 poems in his lifetime. Today we are privileged to hear from Robert Frost's own voice the two poems The Road Not Taken and Woods On A Snowy Evening. Yes, this is a mock interview I've crafted with Robert Frost, but if you'd like to see the actual interviews I took these clips from then click the links in the description.

Happy Halloween!!!
I hope you all have a spooky, scary, fun time this holiday and eat plenty of candy. This episode is in reference to The Drowned Man series on YouTube, made my one of my favorite YouTubers, Markiplier, and Wade Barnes. If you're unfamiliar with this story, check it out in the link below. I was inspired to write this after listening to their podcast, Distractible. I think these guys are hilarious and I listen to them all the time. Just wanted to give everyone a little joke poem today. I got super busy and I didn't have time to make something longer. But I hope you enjoy this spooky poem of mine, The Drowned Man!

The Drowned Man series starts here:

I am excited to announce our very first story by a guest author, No Chapel Could Compare by Nicholas Leonard. A story of love found in the most unlikely of places and the most interesting of people. It's creepy, surprising, heartwarming and heartbreaking.

Edgar Allan Poe is known for his gothic poetry, and this is one of my favorites. Spirits of the Dead perfectly blends together the human mourning and mysterious nature of death, with contemplations that come from long nights he spent sitting alone, surely remembering those he had loved and lost. I often think of Poe and what writing meant to him. He struggled financially all his life, just to be able to write. This poem tells me why he wrote.
