Our latest full-length film, “Edgar Allan Poe’s Final Mystery: A Tale of Two Murders,” is now publicly available. Made in collaboration with the Rising Tide Foundation’s Cynthia Chung and Matt Ehret, this film will change much of what people thought they knew about Edgar Allan Poe.
Based on original research featured from Revenge of the Mystery Cults volume 3 (Edgar Poe’s Final Mystery and Other Tales of Ratiocination), the film explores for the first time the deeper meaning behind many of Poe’s most famous short stories, with special emphasis on his Tales of Ratiocination, the Society of Cincinnati and the death of Mary Rogers.
After 180 years of slander and ritual humiliation, join us in burying the official Poe mythology and revealing the Edgar Poe we never knew.

Edgar Allan Poe and the Mask of the Twentieth Century
BUT for the cruel aspersions upon the character and life of America’s poetic genius, EDGAR ALLAN POE, this volume would have remained unwritten.

Much has been written concerning the strange and sudden death of Edgar Allan Poe. Theories ranging from alcoholism to rabies have been proposed, yet all remain inconclusive, leaving scholars and physicians alike with more questions than answers. No less curious were the unrelenting attacks on Poe’s character that followed his death. His poems and short stories were subsequently framed as the brilliant, but morbid creations of a dissolute lunatic, allegedly tormented by his own inner demons. A groundbreaking new film by David Gosselin directly challenges this image of Poe, leaving the viewer to ponder whether the true demons lay among his contemporaries.
Edgar Allan Poe’s Final Mystery: A Tale of Two Murders suggests that Poe was not merely the victim of an unsolved death.

Rejecting the popular perception of Poe as a caricatural madman obsessed with death and psychopathy, the film peels back more than a century of mythology. What emerges is the real Poe—a literary genius and Humanist committed to fostering a cultural renaissance in America.
