Two versions of Edgar Allan Poe to set the mood

When it comes to holidays, some folks are adventurous, while others prefer the tried-and-traditional.

In this post, Literary Hub has something for each type of Edgar Allan Poe fan.

For the free spirits, it has the story — and recording — of the time that The Grateful Dead merged the songs “Drums” and “Space” into “Raven Space,” influenced by both drugs and Poe’s classic poem.

Sacrilege? Sorry. You can cleanse your mental palate with recordings of Vincent Price playing the role of Poe as he reads the author’s stories.
