Filled with broken hearts and black ravens, Edgar Allan Poe's
ghastly tales have delighted readers for centuries. Born in Boston
in 1809, Poe was orphaned at age two. He was soon adopted by a
Virginia family who worked as tombstone merchants. In 1827 he
enlisted in the Army and subsequently failed out of West Point. His
first published story, The Raven, was a huge success, but his joy
was overshadowed by the death of his wife. Poe devoted his life to
writing and his tragic life often inspired his work. He is
considered to be the inventor of detective fiction and the father
of American mystery writers. His work continues to influence
popular culture through films, music, literature, and television.
