Edgar Allan Poe- prolific horror writer, yes...but did he commit a horror of which he wrote? Fiction is the way to tell truth through lies, and Podenstein's Lab takes a deep dive into the real story of Mary Rogers, victim in life- and in literature as "The Mystery of Marie Roget." Did Poe write a story, or a confession? Plus we look at Poe's other tales based on real life horrors, and look into his own terrible demise at the age of forty. And as always, real news headlines of real news oddities, all here in Podenstein's Lab.
