Poe was an American writer, editor, and critic in the 1800s known for his tales and poems of horror and mystery. Some of his most well-known works include “The Mask of the Red Death”, “The Raven”, “The Tell-Tale Heart”, and “Annabel Lee”.

Of all the great literary geniuses, Edgar Allan Poe is the darkest, grittiest and most passionate of them all. The source of his writings is not that of mere imagination, but of a true sense of what it is like to have love, only to lose it and be driven to the brink of madness by grief and despair.

Many of his well-known classics, such as “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Raven” include elements of evil and helplessness, which relatively touch upon his dark life experiences (Poe Museum).

A wretched figure lies on the bed, with his face drained of color and eyes devoid of light, for his heart beats but was filled with excessive liquor from the countless bottles scattered around him; for his lung plummets but was fluxed with indistinguishable remains of the brown dusts below him; for his head moves but was sent to an unreal realm of fantasies above him. Even in the eyes of a child, this man, who is no different from his dead self, would be seen as a miserable and hopeless disgrace of the society, yet these descriptions accurately apply to Edgar Allan Poe, the founder of horror novels and detective stories and , more importantly, a renowned poet known for his morbid style of writing. Though this coexistence of despondency and
Edgar Allen Poe is the man of horror, he gave the term its meaning in his stories and poems, even though horror isn't the only important thing in his works. Everything an actor writes has a point, Poe’s more than most, there are things most don't see in the setting, in the title, or in the themes that are important and can tell a part of the story that most overlook.
