Gothic & Haunted Houses

The Raven

by Edgar Allan Poe

Poe's immortal narrative poem follows a grieving scholar visited by a mysterious raven whose single utterance—'Nevermore'—becomes a haunting refrain of loss and despair. A masterwork of American Gothic literature, it explores themes of mourning, madness, and the irretrievability of the past through hypnotic rhythm and dark symbolism.
