Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 - October 7, 1849) is best known for his haunting poetry and tales of the macabre. His most famous works include The Raven and The Fall of the House of Usher. A key figure in American Dark Romanticism, Poe is also credited as being the inventor of the modern detective story and an innovator in science fiction.
