The papers include sources and inspirations for Poe’s work, first printings, and more. See select items up close before meeting the master of Gothic horror himself, portrayed by storyteller Darrin Crow, in Morbid Curiosities – An Evening with Edgar Allan Poe. The 80-minute performance begins at 7 p.m. and features some of Poe’s most beloved stories and poetry, including “The Masque of the Red Death,” “The Raven,” and “The Tell-Tale Heart.”
