‘There are some secrets which refuse to remain hidden…’
Brand new for 2026, A Ghost Among the Living will premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Enter the uncanny world of Edgar Allan Poe, where reason spirals into madness and guilt has a heartbeat of its own. Critically acclaimed Box Tale Soup, creators of award winning supernatural thriller Casting the Runes, present five terrifying tales from the master of the macabre.
An unknown scholar takes the stage to honour Poe’s darkest masterpieces… but lines blur, and stories twist into a dangerous confession. Step closer, if you dare…
