    I listened to this tale while parked on a cliff watching the waves crash. Not in the slightest bit intentional but perfectly fitting.

    Poe has been one of my favorite authors ever since I was a young teen, and this is a wonderful telling of this tale

      I find that one quite terrifying. It’s like a nightmare. Waking up in a black, dark, dank, slimy, dungeon. Feeling around in the dark, with a huge pendulum scythe swinging, what, over a dingy hole or something? That’s almost scary as Poe’s face. U know the lovecraft story with multiple Poe characters? Ian’s probably going to do that. Too good not to.

    The modern world never ceases to amaze me... there are channels of idiots doing idiotic things and have a vast following.. then there’s channels like Ian’s. An artist with the written word and storytelling.. intelligent and articulate and only this many subscribers!!?? It simply baffles me!

    it's such a great story, although you may be able to see some of it 'coming'... the only reason you've been conditioned to see things like that coming is because you grew up in a World that Edgar Allan Poe already lived in.

    I'm happy we do not use the term "shat himself up" anymore. "Shutting oneself up" seems much less messy...

    The CBS Radio Mystery Theater did a version of this. Richard Mulligan of Empty Nest and Soap starred in it.

    Takellie Lee..... Te Kelly Lee!!! Is that from Poe? It’s stuck in my head and I can’t connect the strings. Why is that so bothersome? When u just can’t quite remember! Dag golly.
