This Halloween Dr. Covington channels the chillingly gothic ghost of Edgar Allan Poe. Poe’s haunting poems and short stories long ago established him as the undisputed "Master of the Macabre." Underneath his eventual worldwide popularity and acclaim, lay a graveyard of loss and personal tragedy. Meet the "real" Poe as Covington "channels" the writer through inspired readings of Poe's most famous poems and prose and a dramatic presentation of the "Tell-Tale Heart!" See pages 70 and 73 for Poe Tours.
