A Descent into the Maelström

In Edgar Allan Poe’s gripping tale of survival and cosmic terror, A Descent into the Maelström plunges listeners into a tempest of elemental fury and existential dread. Set amidst the wild Norwegian coast, the story follows an old fisherman who recounts the nightmarish experience that turned his hair white and changed his life forever.

As a violent hurricane wrecks his fishing boat, he and his brothers are dragged toward the Moskoe-strom—a vast, apocalyptic whirlpool capable of swallowing ships whole. But amidst the chaos, a keen observation about how different objects behave in the vortex offers him a desperate shot at survival.

Told with Poe’s signature intensity and philosophical depth, this psychological maritime thriller explores mankind’s insignificance in the face of nature’s overwhelming power. A stunning blend of science, suspense, and Gothic atmosphere, it remains one of Poe’s most visually powerful and underrated works.
