For fans of Edgar Allan Poe: what to watch, read & play next

Cross-media picks for Edgar Allan Poe fans — films, series, games and books in the same vein.

Guilt that cannot stay buried, narrators slipping loose from reality, and ordinary places that suddenly feel like traps — these are the hallmarks Poe perfected. The picks here share that same pressure: anthology structures that echo his short-story form, confined spaces where dread compounds, and atmospheres so carefully assembled they feel physical. Films, games, and paperback collections — the medium changes, but the mood holds: something is wrong, and the walls are closing in.
