Author

Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) invented a climate of dread that American literature has never quite left. He shaped the modern detective story, perfected the haunted chamber, and wrote poems — The Raven above all — that lodge in the ear like a refrain. Beauty and terror share his rooms: obsessed lovers, guilty narrators, and reason that slides into nightmare. Poe lived hard and died young; the work outlasted the legend.
