The Long Night

A short little apocalyptic poem.

"The Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar Allan Poe (+Pocast Update!)

A story about rich people sequestering themselves away from a deadly pandemic while the rest of the world suffers :) Content warning for some short, typical 1800s descriptions that may be considered offensive today.

Deceit of the Raven Witch

A witchy narrative poem for the Halloween season! Disclaimer: This poem unintentionally contains stereotypes about women and beauty that have been heavily incorporated into the collective unconscious' witch canon.

"The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe

CONTENT WARNINGS: * Connotation between mental illness and murder * Use of outdated terms relating to mental illness, specifically "mad" One of my favorite Poe stories, this episode follows a character (presumably a man) who finds himself haunted by his murder of a kindly old fellow with an "evil eye."

History of Language

A semi-humorous poem speculating on when human language evolved.
