In 2020 The Catholic Reading Challenge is reading 24 different short stories by 12 different authors. Each month we will focus on one author, reading two stories by that author. During each of our bi-weekly podcast episodes we will discuss the stories in turn.

I will keep this short and sweet, so that you can get right to the stories for this month. We are excited to be reading Poe this month, and I think that you will find in our first story many interesting parallels to what we are experiencing as a society right now. I’m sure there will be lots to discuss.

You should be able to find plenty of PDF versions of these stories, or they should both be in any collection of Poe’s stories that you have on your shelves already at home. Enjoy!
