Edgar Allan Poe

“Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.”
― Edgar Allan Poe


Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer. He was born in Boston on January 19, 1809. He died in Baltimore on October 7, 1849. 


Poe is considered a central figure of Romanticism and the inventor of the detective fiction genre. He wrote poems and short stories and he is famous for his tales of mystery and the macabre.


Poe's best known fiction works are Gothic. His most recurring themes deal with questions of death and the reanimation of the dead.


Some of his most famous works are: the Raven, the Fall of the House of Usher, Ligeia, The Black Cat and the Tell-tale heart.


I recommend you to read Poe’s work if you like bizarre characters, gothic castles, and mystery...
