About The Author | Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston, USA, in 1809. Poe, short story writer, editor and critic, he is best known for his macabre tales and as the progenitor of the detective story. He died in 1849, in mysterious circumstances, at the age of forty. |
For their supernatural grotesquerie and graveyard doom,[Poe's stories] foreshadow Stephen King and the "southern gothic" of Truman Capote… his work continues to enthral. His greatest tales radiate a dark humour and mockery that strike an oddly modern note. |
|
Other text | The modern horror novel owes an enormous debt to Poe, and the novel of psychological horror owes him almost everything |
