Download The Complete Works of Edgar Allan Poe: Macabre Stories as Free eBooks & Audio Books
With Halloween fast approaching, let us remind you that few American writers can get you into the existentially chilling spirit of this climatically chilling season than Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849). And given that he lived and wrote entirely in the first half of the 19th century, few American writers can do it at so little financial cost to you, the reader. Today we’ve collected Poe’s freely available, public domain works of pure psychological unsettlement into five volumes of eBooks:
- Volume 1
- Volume 2
- Volume 3
- Volume 4
- Volume 5
And five volumes of audiobooks as well (all the better to work their way into your subconscious):
- Volume 1
- Volume 2
- Volume 3
- Volume 4
- Volume 5

So if you lived in a society where you had to secure your communication in order to be yourself around others, here are the apps that could help you do that.
Signal let’s you securely text and make phone calls.
Onion Browser allows you to surf the web without leaving a trail.
Duck Duck Go isn’t super secure but it won’t record your searches like Google.
ProtonMail is a email client that lets you email other secure email accounts.
Periscope allows you to stream live video.
Semaphor is there so you can securely make group chat rooms.
American privacy laws allow you to use these all. So that’s pretty cool.
Because we’re currently living in the prologue of a cyberpunk dystopian novel, imma reblog this.
FYI the feds can crack Signal when they’re sufficiently motivated, which means the rest of these are probably also done. Not to say you shouldn’t use them–you should–but don’t go around thinking you’re immune to snooping.
True. These things delay, put up barriers that make you harder to follow and it takes more work and time to decrypt your messages.
That’s useful if you wanna pass on information that only needs to be hidden for a short time but if you need communication to stay secret forever no matter how hard the state tries, don’t use the internet at all. There is no encryption that is going to stay uncrackable forever.
pay attention to that last sentence. there’s a fallacy in thinking that if you lock something, it’s safe forever. in truth a lock is a deterrent, and anyone sufficiently determined will get through, it’s simply a matter of time and a lock makes it take longer.
think about what you want encrypted, and why, and what lengths you’re willing to go to, to keep it that way
When locking your phone use a pin, not your fingerprint or face. You’re pin is safe under the law, your fingerprint and face are not. Again, they are meant to delay things to keep you safer.
