Berenice

Send a text to the podcast

Today we immerse ourselves in the unsettling short story by Edgar Allan Poe that will have your teeth chattering. A tale of insanity, monomania and obsession that leads one to their own torturous realization of their evil deeds.

The melancholy narrative of Berenice.

This story is one of Edgar Allan Poe's spookiest in my opinion, as well as one of his most difficult to get through if you're not a fan of the Victorian era writing style. Take your time, replay the episode as many times as you want to. It took me more times re-reading this story than I'd like to admit in order to understand it completely, but it resulted in a fantastic auditory experience!

This podcast is great for educators, teachers, students and schools looking to educate themselves and others on the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Victorian era writing, and classic horror fiction. Also great for fans of horror, Gothic fiction, poetry, short stories, and timeless classic scary stories.
