Description:  

This episode of the Ravens Vail Coven Podcast was written by Edgar Allen Poe and performed by Master Storyteller Melanie Alexander during Appalachian HorrorFest 2023 in Knoxville, Tennessee.  Alexander dramatically presents Poe’s “The Raven,” which revolves around a man who is deeply grieving the loss of his beloved, Lenore.  One night, as he mourns in solitude, a raven visits him, bringing with it a haunting message. The raven's repeated response of "nevermore" serves as a chilling reminder of the permanence of his grief and the inevitability of loss. Through this encounter, the story explores themes of sorrow, memory, and the struggle to cope with profound emotional pain.

Written and performed by Melanie Alexander
