    Brain Fever: Is this Edgar Allan Poe's Lost Poem?

    “Brain Fever: The Death of Edgar Allan Poe” Performed by spoken-word poet and Emmy Award winner Bob Holman at the Bowery Poetry Club, NYC on October 7, 2026 at the Secret Horror Salon. Without explanation, American horror writer and poet Edgar Allan Poe stepped off a ship in Baltimore and inexplicably disappeared for several days. Poe was found delirious and disheveled near Gunner's Hall tavern and was taken to the hospital where he was treated for his apparent alcohol intoxication. Poe had no visitors in the hospital and gave no account of how he came to be in his condition before dying on October 7, 1849. Like his macabre tales, Poe’s death remains an unsolved mystery. What if Poe entered a dreamlike state called sleep paralysis, and all of his nightmare came true? And he could do nothing to stop them from manifesting before his immobilized body?

    Richard Matheson’s “I am Legend” kickstarted the “last human on Earth” genre

    There have been many takes on post-apocalyptic literature and cinema with the most notable being Richard Matheson’s “I am Legend” where our protagonist, Robert Neville, is living in the empty streets of Los Angeles after a plague has left the human race either dead or turned into vampires. This book kickstarted the “last human on Earth” genre, but has a philosophical twist when in the end we learn the vampires are a new species of humans and Neville is the last remnant of the old guard, and is a hindrance to their evolution.  Here is our review and essay about the book.

    Is Marisha Pessl’s horror mystery novel “Night Film” really about Stanley Kubrick?

    Just imagine if the reclusive and enigmatic film auteur Stanley Kubrick lived in an isolated mansion and has moved his entire film production and staff into this hidden enclave. It is there, away from the prying eyes of the public, that he is making his final and most dangerous movie --Yes, Stanley Kubrick – the master filmmaker and boy genius who made “Dr. Strangelove,” “2001: A Space Odyssey,” “Clockwork Orange,” and “The Shining.” Would you be curious to learn what his last film is? Strangely enough, the premise I have just laid before you is REAL but as the unofficial backstory of Marisha Pessl’s horror mystery novel “Night Film.” Pessl’s nom de plume for Kubrick is Stanislaus Cordova, reclusive cult-horror film director, who has not been seen in public for over thirty years.  Here is our review and essay about the book.
