Could Edgar Allan Poe see into the future? His life and times included major literary landmarks, of course, and he pioneered brand new genres: gothic, horror, crime, and science fiction. Not only have these innovations endured, they have anticipated our own times and preoccupations, creating real connections between Poe’s classic works and today’s novels, films, and television programs. Join the Learning Center at Senior Citizens Inc. and Michigan State Professor Stephen Rachman for a virtual lecture on America’s master of mystery.
