All stories are shrouded in kernels of truth, each a grain of sand in life's ever-hastening hourglass. Including mine. I'll tell you my secrets if you must know them, but they are not for the faint of heart. Stop me if I dive too deeply or recount too savagely the memories and visions that have shaped me. Look away if you must because if you come with me on this journey you may not like what you see for we will dance with the supernatural, the macabre, the Devil himself. And you will know me better... CW: References to child abuse, and addiction.Transcript Written by Jeff WhiteheadEdgar Allan Poe: Mick WheatonRoderick Usher: Giancarlo HerreraWilliam Wilson: Sean BabapulleAda: Tanja MilojevicTess: Janine BowerToby Dammit: Russ MooreThe Man: Harlan GuthrieSergeant: Brandon NyugenEditor: Daisy McNamaraSound Designer: Pacific ObadiahMusic: Newt SchottelkotteArt: Ryan CarrShowrunner: Daisy McNamaraProducer: Pacific ObadiahDirector: Pacific Obadiah and Daisy McNamara A production of Eelsong Studios, Bloody FM, And Midnight Disease Productions.Find us on Social Media!

Was it the Devil?I told you, you may not like what you hear. But you've asked me to tell you about my life and my stories. And the truth is that memory causes the real and imagined to blend, metamorphosing what is real into a sometimes monstrous form, unrecognizable, dark. Such is my memory of the sweet Ada, a muse of some of my earliest raptures. I wrote about her once long ago... CW: References to historical sex work, and addiction.TranscriptWritten by Jeff WhiteheadEdgar Allan Poe: Mick WheatonRoderick Usher: Giancarlo HerreraAda: Tanja MilojevicTess: Janine BowerPatron: Hersham ElhazlyLieutenant: Julian DaileyThe Man: Harlan GuthrieEditor: Daisy McNamaraSound Designer: Pacific ObadiahMusic: Newt SchottelkotteArt: Ryan CarrShowrunner: Daisy McNamaraProducer: Pacific ObadiahDirector: Pacific Obadiah and Daisy McNamara  A production of Eelsong Studios, Bloody FM, And Midnight Disease Productions.Find us on Social Media!

For as long ago as that was, it feels like yesterday. Such is the accordion of time. Push it in, and time passes in fleeting instants, pull it out and suddenly, years and decades are behind you. Every push and pull brings us closer to the inevitable. The only truth there is. That we are born. And we die. Everything in between is a collection of those fleeting instants. Which is why we're here, isn't it? So you know more about my collection. It certainly is why we continued finding our way to the Tamerlane... CW: implied sex (off screen), addiction, death of a child.TranscriptWritten by Jeff WhiteheadEdgar Allan Poe: Mick WheatonRoderick Usher: Giancarlo HerreraThomas: Mark WhittenAda: Tanja MilojevicTess: Janine BowerMorella: Beth EyreYoung morella: Kayla TemshivPriest: Michael Ignacio, Jr.Editor: Daisy McNamaraSound Designer: Dustin ParsonsMusic: Newt SchottelkotteArt: Ryan CarrShowrunner: Daisy McNamaraProducer: Pacific ObadiahDirector: Pacific Obadiah and Daisy McNamara A production of Eelsong Studios, Bloody FM, And Midnight Disease Productions.Find us on Social Media!

 The light is failing us, isn't it? And why shouldn't we linger in the dark by the light of this candle? Your question is an interesting one. As must be the case for you as well, inspiration comes from many sources, legend, tall-tales, lived experience. I see from the low nod of your head that you agree. As we all must, making sense of this strange world often requires us to process what we hear and see, often numerous points of influence coalescing into a single inspiration. A poem. A story. A letter. This is the story behind a story.Episode 4: The Cask of Amontillado CW: gunfire, ghosts. Written by Jeff WhiteheadEdgar Allan Poe: Mick WheatonRoderick Usher: Giancarlo HerreraMarcus: Terrel WorrellMassie: Chris Harris-Beechey  Drane: Vic CollinsFelix: Dustin ParsonsVoice: Daisy McNamarai   Editor: Daisy McNamaraSound Designer: Dustin ParsonsMusic: Newt SchottelkotteArt: Ryan CarrShowrunner: Daisy McNamaraProducer: Pacific ObadiahDirector: Pacific Obadiah and Daisy McNamara  A production of Eelsong Studios, Bloody FM, And Midnight Disease Productions.Find us on Social Media!

Is it not there as it is here? Death creeping around every corner, always readying to strike, the eye of the beast abject and cruel? I know it must be, for your face tells all. My final venture to the Tamerlane was a harrowing affair, a reminder of how feeble we all are, but it awakened me to the dreamlike undercurrent of our world, and that great, lurking evil. CW: Disease Written by Jeff Whitehead Edgar Allan Poe: Mick Wheaton Roderick Usher: Giancarlo HerreraRosa: Melissa LuskAda: Tanja Milojevic Tess: Janine Bower The Man: Harlan Guthrie Transcript:  Editor: Daisy McNamaraSound Designer: Dustin ParsonsMusic: Newt SchottelkotteArt: Ryan CarrShowrunner: Daisy McNamaraProducer: Pacific ObadiahDirector: Pacific Obadiah and Daisy McNamara  A production of Eelsong Studios, Bloody FM, And Midnight Disease Productions.Find us on Social Media!

If you would judge me for my habits, then our conversation is over. So look not with that sour face upon my tormented being. Instead, if you wish me to continue, wash away the notion that you have any idea what comes next. The things I have seen...sometimes I have difficulty telling whether they are dream or reality. CW: Illness. Written by Jeff WhiteheadEdgar Allan Poe: Mick WheatonRoderick Usher: Giancarlo HerreraWilliam Wilson: Sean BabapulleThe Man: Harlan Guthrie Editor: Daisy McNamaraSound Designer: Dustin ParsonsMusic: Newt SchottelkotteArt: Ryan CarrShowrunner: Daisy McNamaraProducer: Pacific ObadiahDirector: Pacific Obadiah and Daisy McNamara Transcript: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/jk4ltsdzj0zbu48e20b6d/EP.6-Script-Poe.pdf?rlkey=0mcinl0w60xztlnmadv2rz34g&st=xva0nzs2&dl=0  A production of Eelsong Studios, Bloody FM, And Midnight Disease Productions.Find us on Social Media!

I have never confessed this, not aloud at least. In fact, I took great pains to conceal these early years, to bottle them up in extravagant lies of travel to Greece and Russia and elsewhere abroad. But now you know that under my false name, I traveled with a company of good men to an island not without an eerie beauty where I had little expectation for any sort of inspiration or adventure. But in this as in many things, I found myself almost wholly wrong. CW: References to historical slavery, insects.Support Film Camp In A Box- thegeorgearomerofoundation.orgWritten by Jeff WhiteheadEdgar Allan Poe: Mick WheatonAnna Ravenel: Kayla TemshivEdmund Ravenel: Gerald HillLegrand: Karim KronfliJupiter: Damon AlumsRobert: Stephen IndrisanoEditor: Daisy McNamaraSound Designer: Dustin ParsonsMusic: Newt SchottelkotteArt: Ryan CarrShowrunner: Daisy McNamaraProducer: Pacific ObadiahDirector: Daisy McNamaraTranscript:   A production of Eelsong Studios, Bloody FM, And Midnight Disease Productions.Find us on Social Media!

 I had spent so much time with death that I had almost forgotten what it was like to be alive. I was good to my word, and not just to Anna. I was noticed by my superior officers and before long, I was promoted to artificer, a non-commissioned officer. William was very jealous as he had no such luck in promotion. My mechanical skill, education, and cleverness prevailed in my exceeding expectations, and I was keen to share the news with my newfound love... CW: maritime disaster, death of a family member.  Written by Jeff WhiteheadEdgar Allan Poe: Mick WheatonAnna Ravenel: Kayla TemshivEdmund Ravenel: Gerald HillMarion: Madeline MooreOliver: Marquiz MooreCornelius: David AultVoice: B.

I would not be denied. My sights were set, and as it does so often do when I fixate, the obsession drove me nearly mad. I developed an immediate disdain for Anna's father for pulling her away from me, and even my new friend Edmund distanced himself, sensing that any reminder of him would also be a reminder of her. They closed the house on the island, and Edmund began working exclusively from Charleston. That two-hour distance felt like it might as well have been the distance to another world as it meant that I could not see Anna each day. CW: Claustrophobia.  Written by Jeff Whitehead Edgar Allan Poe: Mick WheatonRoderick Usher: Giancarlo HerreraAnna Ravenel: Kayla TemshivEdmund Ravenel: Gerald HillWilliam Wilson: Sean BabapullePeter: Jon GrilzDeath: Katrina Pecina Voice 1: Anver MahmudVoice 2: Dylan GriggsVoice 3: Oliver Smith Editor: Daisy McNamaraSound Designer: Dustin ParsonsMusic: Newt SchottelkotteArt: Ryan CarrShowrunner: Daisy McNamaraProducer: Pacific ObadiahDirector: Pacific Obadiah and Daisy McNamaraJoin our discord: https://discord.gg/8Tb8WKpA Transcript:  Find us on Social Media:https://x.com/Poe_Evermorehttps://www.instagram.com/poe_evermore/ A production of Eelsong Studios, Bloody FM, And Midnight Disease Productions.Find us on Social Media!
