Dead Reckoning is a weekly investigative history podcast that charts a course through the forgotten, the unexplained, and the deeply unsettling. We don’t chase conspiracies, aliens, or cryptids—just the raw, often uncomfortable truths left buried beneath the surface of history.
Each episode dissects a different mystery: from unsolved disappearances and obscure murders to abandoned relics and government cover-ups. We examine what’s known, what’s missing, and what the evidence actually says—no sensationalism, no shortcuts.
If you’re looking for cold logic, hard facts, and a steady voice cutting through the noise, you’re in the right place. Because in the end, truth doesn’t vanish.
It just decays.
And we’re here to uncover it.

What really happened to Edgar Allan Poe in the days leading up to his mysterious death? In today’s episode of The Dead Reckoning Show, Larry dives into one of history’s greatest literary enigmas — the baffling final days of Poe’s life, the strange circumstances surrounding his discovery outside a Baltimore polling station, and the competing theories about how the father of detective fiction met his untimely end.
Was Poe the victim of alcohol, cooping, rabies, a brain tumor, murder, or a tragic combination of failing health and bad luck? Why was he found wearing someone else’s clothes? And who was the mysterious Reynolds he called out for before he died?
From historical accounts to medical theories to long-standing rumors, this episode unravels the story with all the drama and darkness worthy of Poe himself.
