As the original "master of the macabre’ ," Edgar Allan Poe holds a very honored place in the mind of Tim Beasley, an accomplished multi-media and live stage actor. Tim is well known nationally for his knack of bringing back many deceased popular celebrities and historical figures from the “dead” in his portrayals.

One of his favorite "Dead Legends" to perform as is Edgar Allan Poe.

Tim’s chilling portrayal of Edgar Allan Poe is not a séance, spirit possession or channeling phenomenon, but simply an uncanny ability to pull Poe’s deceased personality, literary mind and physical likeness back into the light of the living….Tim’s impersonation mystically conjures up Edgar Allan Poe himself, in the audiences‘ imaginations, by breathing life back into the memories of Poe’s fabulous tales of terror and other literary masterpieces. As any fan of Poe’s will tell you, it’s the haunting memory of his poems and stories that eternally lock the listener to the chains of his tormented soul.

Tim Beasley will enjoy bringing you and your guests an evening’s entire "Herd Of Nightmares" as he reads the classic Poe to you, as Poe would have himself…..

These include the horrific "The Raven," ( see video of this on the link on this page, just click and enjoy!) The Black Cat," "Telltale Heart," "The Pit and The Pendulum" "Premature Burial" and other gloriously ghoulish tales, plus the beautiful prose of his poems like "Annabelle Lee."

Tim is proud that he has been engaged to perform "The Raven" at Edgar Allan Poe's final resting place, Westminster Hall, a gothic style church and  historical landmark in older Baltimore, MD. This is one of the most important of all Poe related locations, as he is buried , along with his  young wife, in the Westminster Hall Burial Ground.
