13 Days of Edgar Allan Poe, hosted by Dr. Michael O'Conner!

It's mid-October, and that means it's officially Poe season! To celebrate, beginning on Monday, October 18th and running up to Halloween, our own Dr. Michael O'Conner will be hosting "13 Days of Edgar Allan Poe," an interactive, online Poe-a-Day reading experience. For each day, you can enjoy a curated Poe story, available as both text and audio (with many of the latter narrated by the inimitable Christopher Lee!). You can find the host website here: https://sites.google.com/view/13-days-of-edgar-allan-poe-21/home. Please join us!
