Excerpts

Few authors can claim Edgar Allan Poe's influence on literary and popular culture. During his short and turbulent life, he invented the modern detective story and horror genres with such immortal works as The Raven, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Cask of Amontillado, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, and The Fall of the House of Usher. Best known for the haunting melody of his poetry and prose, Poe also wrote numerous critical articles and reviews, essays, and magazine articles on a variety of subjects.
Drawing from a broad range of sources, such as personal correspondence and reviews, this comprehensive reference covers all of Poe's major and most minor works. The entries also provide a wealth of information on his personal life, including relationships with friends, relatives, and associates.
