About this listen

This American short-story writer and poet is known for his suspenseful and oftentimes gory tales of horror and darkness, but with "Landor’s Cottage", Poe’s final short story, first published in 1849, we get to see a whole other side to the revered author.

"Landor’s Cottage" is a characteristically vivid and detailed description of Poe’s family home and the surrounding valley. Poe describes the natural beauty of the setting with elegance and emotion and gives us the opportunity to delve deeper into Poe as a person as he writes candidly about the beauty that surrounds him.

This is a short piece of descriptive writing that shouldn’t be missed by any real discerning Poe appreciator.
