It's Episode 66! Just 600 more to go until we hit horror's favorite number! This week, Matthew welcomes celebrated author Annie Neugebauer to talk about her amazing new collection, You Have to Let Them Bleed, and we dig deep into the many tales of misunderstood horror master Edgar Allan Poe. We cover everything from "The Raven" to "The Fall of the House of Usher" to "The Black Cat" in this one, so Poe-heads strap in!
