MerchantWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 262 - John Allan’s Death - In this episode I want to zero in on what I feel was one of the major influences on Poe’s work - John Allan.  Although - to my knowledge - he never directly encouraged his son to be a writer - I believe that Poe was highly influenced - in a negative way - by the frequent conflicts with the man who called himself Poe’s father.  So I’d like to talk about his life, as well as his death with some help from the Ghost of Edgar Poe.
