We now unseal the case that started it all. Before Sherlock Holmes, before Hercule Poirot, before Batman... there was C. Auguste Dupin. We are investigating The Murders in the Rue Morgue. This is the first detective story ever written, and it begins with an impossibility. We are going back to 'Patient Zero' of the mystery genre.

We perform a forensic analysis of The Murders in the Rue Morgue, exploring Ratiocination, the "Locked Room" Architecture, and the Psychology of the Sidekick.

Inside the Analysis:

• Calculation vs. Analysis Why the police look at what happened, while Dupin looks at how it could happen.
• The Voice of the Other: Why the witnesses assigned a foreign nationality to a voice that had no language.
• The Absence of Motive: How removing the "Human Factor" left Dupin with the only logical, albeit improbable, truth.

We unseal the archives of literary history to investigate the world's greatest short stories. The Dupin Files is a weekly immersive audio drama podcast dedicated to Gothic Horror, Weird Fiction, and Psychological Thrillers.

We go beyond the standard audiobook. We transform the original text into a cinema-quality soundscape, followed by a forensic analysis of the narrative.

Our growing archive investigates the masters of the genre:

From the titans like Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, and Guy de Maupassant, to the Victorian ghosts of Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde, and Henry James. We also explore the psychological and weird fiction of Algernon Blackwood, Stephen Crane, Walter de la Mare, W.F. Harvey, W.W. Jacobs, Willa Cather, and Mary E. Wilkins Freeman.

Whether you are looking for a mystery to solve, a study aid for literature class, or a dark atmospheric story for sleep, the file is open.
