Letters From The Time Traveler: Was Edgar Allan Poe a Time Traveler?
4 min readJul 14, 2024
Dearest,
As I knew Edgar, and he knew my real profession, it does not surprise me that he knew things.
The Pale Blue Eye movie is a great depiction of him. I recommend it if you like everything Poe. He was an interesting, complicated character.
I let some things slip during my friendship with him. He liked to drink and I may have gotten drunk a few times. And talked. A lot.
He would egg me on and ask about the future. And I would honestly answer. What I didn’t expect was him to write about what I had told him in confidence.
