In the second installment of the Campfire Classics Collection we have the conclusion of “The Story of William Wilson” (1839). In this odd tale of one man’s encounter with his own doppelgänger, we explore what it is to confront the best and worst of ourselves; how it is that we can move past these epiphanies of introspection in ways that leave us invigorated rather than hopeless. Enjoy this reading around a campfire or snuggled under a warm blanket. Feel free to follow the link and read along with us. Happy Halloween!https://americanenglish.state.gov/files/ae/resource_files/the_story_of_william_wilson.pdfEdgar Allan Poe's best-known works include the poems “To Helen” (1831), “The Raven” (1845), and “Annabel Lee” (1849); the short stories of wickedness and crime “The Tell-Tale Heart” (1843) and “The Cask of Amontillado” (1846); and the supernatural horror story “The Fall of the House of Usher” (1839).Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling is created for adult audiences only.
