Edgar Allan Poe born Edgar Poe, January 19, 1809 October 7 1849 was an American author, poet, editor and literary critic, considered part of the American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre. He is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first wellknown American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.
The Black cat
quot;The Black Catquot; is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe. It was first published in the August 19, 1843, edition of The Saturday Evening Post. It is a study of the psychology of guilt, often paired in analysis with Poe39;s quot;The TellTale Heartquot;. In both, a murderer carefully conceals his crime and believes himself unassailable, but eventually breaks down and reveals himself, impelled by a nagging reminder of his guilt.
The Murders in the Rue Morgue:
quot;The Murders in the Rue Morguequot; is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe published in Graham39;s Magazine in 1841. It has been recognized as the first detective story; Poe referred to it as one of his quot;tales of ratiocinationquot;. Two works that share some similarities predate Poe39;s stories, including Das Frulein von Scuderi 1819 by E.T.A. Hoffmann and Zadig 1748 by Voltaire.
The Pit and the Pendulum:
quot;The Pit and the Pendulumquot; is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe and first published in 1842 in the literary annual The Gift: A Christmas and New Year39;s Present for 1843. The story is about the torments endured by a prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition, though Poe skews historical facts. The narrator of the story describes his experience of being tortured. The story is especially effective at inspiring fear in the reader because of its heavy focus on the senses, such as sound, emphasizing its reality, unlike many of Poe39;s stories which are aided by the supernatural. The traditional elements established in popular horror tales at the time are followed, but critical reception has been mixed. The tale has been adapted to film several times.
