Poe Museum Curator Chris Semtner talks with John Tresch, author of "The Reason for the Darkness of the Night: Edgar Allan Poe and the Forging of American Science." Also joining the interview are Poe scholars Richard Kopley and Murray Ellison.

"In 'The Reason for the Darkness of the Night,' John Tresch offers a bold new biography of a writer whose short, tortured life continues to fascinate. Shining a spotlight on an era when the lines separating entertainment, speculation, and scientific inquiry were blurred, Tresch reveals Poe's obsession with science and lifelong ambition to advance and question human knowledge."
