In the dark shadows of the Rue Morgue, to the rhythm of the stolen telltale heart, as the black cat swings on the pendulum, and the cast offers its sherry deep and dry.

Raise yourself for the no-sleep podcast.

Welcome to the no-sleep podcast. I'm your host, David Cummings.

Welcome to Summer. Apologies to those of you south of the equator, but since most of us are in the northern hemisphere, we are now squarely in the summer months.

Time for sun and travel. And if you're traveling, you'll probably want something to listen to on the trains, planes and automobiles you'll be in.

That's why I'm happy to announce the sleepless summer solstice season pass sale.

And speaking of traveling, that just happens to be the theme of this week's episode.

It's not unusual to experience horror when you're away from home in unfamiliar surroundings. Perhaps it's the nightmare's experienced while on a road trip.

Or maybe it's what you experience when you arrive at that strange B&B with uncommonly good reviews. Either way, travel and horror go hand in hand.

And here's a travel experience you might consider this summer, especially if you're along the east coast of the US.

Why not visit all four houses which are now Edgar Allen Poe museums? That's right.

Four cities claim historic homes in which Poe lived and wrote.

You can start in Richmond, Virginia, where Poe lived most of his young life. Then you're off to Baltimore, Maryland, where Poe lived for a few years.

You can visit his grave, as mentioned on last week's show, and even attend the annual Poe Fest International.

The next stop is Philadelphia, a place Poe lived for six years and is now an historical site which may have inspired Poe to write the story, the black cat.

And finally, you'll end up in New York, in the Bronx. This was the last house Edgar Allen Poe lived in up until his death, and it's where his beloved wife passed away.
