Master of the Macabre, grand sire of Gothic horror, the enigmatic penman, Edgar Allan Cole.

Few names survive the slaughter of time. Fewer still befriended.

The drear passionate poet was no stranger to death,

as evidenced by his work,

and perhaps because of that intimate insight into humanity's frailty,

there is something to be raised from every reader.

His stories speak to us because, disconcertingly, his stories describe us.

Meet Lenore.

In centuries past, the raven has been held as a symbol of death, but she is so much more

than that.

Listen to her cry, and you will hear the primordial sense so fiercely strong in every heart.

For as soon as we are born, death is a mystery.

And yet we cry.

We cry for a sense of loss, loss of comfort, loss of union,

the loss of each moment as the promises of life begin their endless

recession. In this story, you will meet more than death. For that knocking at your door,

the sound of sweet Lenore is a heartfelt song heard only wrong, delivered by The Raven.

The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe, first published in 1845.
