At the heart of Dark Romanticism is its brooding, pessimistic tone, its emphasis on the supernatural and the sins of humanity, and its use of iconic symbols and horrifying imagery. The classic Dark Romantic authors (Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville) are represented in the stories and poems in this volume, as well as some authors who are not commonly included in this genre. And then there are the poets and folklorists momentarily dabbling in the themes of death, loss and the supernatural, resulting in a collection of classic tales that will chill the listener to the bone.

This critically-acclaimed "tour-de-force one-man performance" (Falls Church News-Press Entertainment Writer) brings new life to one of Edgar Allan Poe's little known, but significant, stories. In 1833, as part of a short story writing contest, Poe crafted "MS Found in a Bottle." This story topped over 100 other entries and earned the 1st place prize of $50 and publication in the Saturday Visiter Newspaper. This story inspired later writers like Herman Melville and Jules Verne, and, while not his most popular work, it launched his career as a writer. In this production, listeners will be engrossed in the story through classic narration encompassing multiple characters, incredible sound effects to bring you into the ghost ship amongst the zombie-like crew, into the hurricanes and the doldrums, and in the cold winds of Antarctica.

D’après les nouvelles les plus récentes de Rotterdam, il paraît que cette ville est dans un singulier état d’effervescence philosophique. En réalité, il s’y est produit des phénomènes d’un genre si complètement inattendu, si entièrement nouveau, si absolument en contradiction avec toutes les opinions reçues que je ne doute pas qu’avant peu toute l’Europe ne soit sans dessus dessous, toute la physique en fermentation, et que la raison et l’astronomie ne se prennent aux cheveux. Quelque part entre la réalité et le rêve, entre la science et la fiction, se trouve l'histoire extraordinaire d'un homme nommé Hans Pfaall. Dans "Aventure sans pareille, d’un certain Hans Pfaall", Edgar Allan Poe nous entraîne dans un récit époustouflant où les limites de l'imagination sont repoussées au-delà des étoiles. Hans Pfaall, un homme ordinaire confronté à des circonstances extraordinaires, décide de défier les lois de la gravité et de s'envoler vers l'inconnu à bord d'un ballon aérostatique. Son périple audacieux le mène à travers les cieux, où il découvre des mondes étranges et des paysages époustouflants, défiant toute logique et toute raison. Au fil des pages, Poe tisse un récit captivant, mêlant aventures extraordinaires, mystères célestes et réflexions profondes sur la nature de l'homme et de l'univers. "Aventure sans pareille, d’un certain Hans Pfaall" est bien plus qu'un simple récit d'aventures ; c'est une exploration de l'âme humaine et de l'infini potentiel de l'imagination. Oserez-vous vous envoler avec Hans Pfaall vers l'inconnu ?

Written in 1835, this is a unique example of sci-fi wrtten by a man much better known for dark and fantastical horror. Intended by Poe to be a hoax, this tale describes a journey in a balloon that includes the view of the Earth from space and a volcanic, seething satellite.From the wiki:"The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfaall" (1835) is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe published in the June 1835 issue of the monthly magazine Southern Literary Messenger as "Hans Phaall -- A Tale", intended by Poe to be a hoax.The story is regarded as one of the early examples of the modern science fiction genre. The story traces the journey of a voyage to the moon.Poe planned to continue the hoax in further installments, but was pre-empted by the Great Moon Hoax which started in the August 25, 1835 issue of the New York Sun daily newspaper. Poe later wrote that the satirical tone of the story made it easy for readers to see through the supposed hoax.Poe's story had an influence on, and is referenced in, Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon, which can be seen as a retelling of the story.[5] Verne acknowledged Poe as the creator of the "scientific novel" when he referred to him as 'le créateur du roman merveilleux scientifique'.Poe later published a similar hoax, "The Balloon-Hoax", in the New York Sun in 1844.

Sempre all'avanguardia sui tempi, Poe scrisse nel 1841 il primo racconto poliziesco nella storia della letteratura. Parigi 1841, rione Saint-Roche: al quarto piano di un appartamento della Rue Morgue vengono orrendamente trucidate l'anziana madame L'Espanaye e sua figlia Camille. La porta è chiusa dall’interno, così come le finestre. La polizia arresta un innocente, ma tutto cambia quando entra in scena l'investigatore Auguste Dupin. Una finestra che affaccia nel vuoto, un articolo di giornale, un rasoio, un marinaio e un essere venuto dal Borneo: sono questi gli elementi di un caso apparentemente insolubile. Chi ha ucciso Madame L'Espanaye e sua figlia? Edgar Allan Poe è riconosciuto come uno dei più grandi scrittori della storia degli Stati Uniti d’America. Forse incompreso dal pubblico e dalla critica dell’epoca è poi stato considerato il maestro assoluto dell'horror, apprezzato da generazioni di lettori che continuano a farsi terrorizzare e meravigliare dalle sue storie.
