John Kevin Jones is here, and he’s diving deep into the dark, brilliant world of Edgar Allan Poe in Killing an Evening with Edgar Allan Poe! A master storyteller and commanding stage presence, Jones takes audiences on a haunting journey through Poe’s most iconic works—blurring the lines between performance, literature, and pure theatrical magic. From the rhythm of the poetry to the psychological intensity of the prose, this is not just a reading—it’s a full-bodied transformation into one of history’s most fascinating literary voices.

In our conversation, John shares what it takes to embody Poe night after night, the emotional and vocal demands of the role, and why these stories still grip audiences today. We also get into the thrill of live performance, the connection between actor and audience, and how stepping into Poe’s world can be as exhilarating as it is chilling. If you love theater, storytelling, and a little gothic flair, this is one you don’t want to miss.
