About this episode
Welcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 292 - Loss of Breath
Today, Mr. Poe and I will look at his short story “Loss of Breath.”
Certainly, "Loss of Breath" is what one might call a lesser-known Poe short story,first published in 1832 in The Philadelphia Saturday Courier. I doubt that you would consider the story one of my more famous works of horror and mystery,
Such as The Tell Tale Heart or The Fall of the House of Usher or The Pit and the Pendulum …
Yes, Mr. Bartley - this story is primarily humorous and satirical in nature.
The story revolves around a man who literally loses his breath and goes through a series of absurd and increasingly outlandish situations as a result.
