Edgar Allan Poe

His works have been in print since 1827 and include such literary classics as The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, and The Fall of the House of Usher. This versatile writer’s oeuvre includes short stories, poetry, a novel, a textbook, a book of scientific theory, and hundreds of essays and book reviews.

Poe’s reputation today rests primarily on his tales of terror as well as on his haunting lyric poetry.
