Episode Ep. 5 - Nevermore
When William, a ghostly lighthouse keeper (The Light-House) haunted by guilt over the death of his wife and child, returns, Poe is drawn into another tragic tale that mirrors his own feelings of guilt and loss. As Poe tries to confront his past and continue helping the restless dead, his own grief over Virginia, and his struggle to find meaning after her death—comes to the forefront.
Meanwhile, the supernatural world around him grows increasingly dangerous, forcing Poe to confront both literal and emotional demons. Through his encounters with the dead, a mysterious raven (The Raven), and memories of those he has lost, Poe gradually begins to understand that his grief is not a curse, but a path that he must walk to find peace.
Narrated by Genevieve Manion – Starring MacLeod Andrews as Edgar Allan Poe – John MacKenzie, William and all other characters performed live by Genevieve Manion, and changed with voice effects. Sound design by Genevieve Manion – Audio refining by Jack Harrington.
