About Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe was an internationally known American writer, poet, editor, and literary critic who lived from 1809 to 1849.

He became famous for his haunting tales of mystery and the macabre, while also making foundational contributions to early detective fiction and science fiction. His most celebrated literary works include the atmospheric poem The Raven and classic short stories such as The Tell-Tale Heart, The Cask of Amontillado, and The Fall of the House of Usher. Throughout his adult life, Poe worked as a literary critic and magazine editor across several major American cities. He died under mysterious circumstances in Baltimore at the age of forty.
