It’s the Entrance of The Niche ! At long last, in this special “regular” episode of the Not Quite Write podcast, Ed and Amanda unpack the (Not Quite) Complete Works of Edgar Allan Poe. Join us as we delve into Poe’s Single Effect Theory and what it means for flash fiction and short story writers, then stick around as we share our favourite Poe pieces. At the end of the episode, we cap it all off with a dramatised (and somewhat emotionally invested) reading of Poe’s epic tale of revenge, ‘The Cask of Amontillado’. If that’s not enough for you Poeverts, enjoy as we launch our new Patreon bonus show, aptly titled ‘ The Niche ’. It’s so much fun, you’ll be bricking shits!
