Today’s episode of The Poe Show is a chilling ghost story, a short Gothic tale of vengeance from beyond the grave. A generational feud between two families, Castle Berlifitzing and Palace Metzengerstein, was started long ago due to an ancient and, as of yet, unfulfilled prophecy. “A lofty name shall have a fearful fall when, as the rider over his horse, the mortality of Metzengerstein shall triumph over the immortality of Berlifitzing.” And what a fiery, untamed beast it would be. One which would haunt this story to death.

Please enjoy Metzengerstein.
