In 1849 a dying Edgar Allan Poe spoke his final delusional and cryptic 250 words, leaving behind the seeds of an epic story of torture and torment. In the 1980's Richard Selzer adapted these final words into a short story entitled 'Poe's Light-house', which has been adapted for the screen to tell the impassioned story of the tortured life of the afflicted twenty-one year old John Jacob Moran.
