“Hop-Frog” by Edgar Allan Poe

November 1, 2018 00:59:12

Kelly and Katai tackle spooky story king Edgar Allan Poe’s short and definitely not sweet tale, “Hop-Frog,” and discuss how incredibly funny it is to tell jokes at the expense of others less powerful than oneself, early appearances in literature of the archetype of the Human Centipede, and revenge, on kings and on themselves.
