Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 - October 7, 1849) was an American writer, considered part of the Romantic Movement. He was a poet, short story writer, editor, and literary critic. He is world famous for his dark tales. Poe was one of the earliest American writers to focus on the short story and is credited with inventing the detective fiction genre. Although his writings were well received, Poe struggled financially and was also plagued with "bouts of depression and madness."
The Pit and the Pendulum, The Cask of Amontillado, The Tell-Tale Heart and The Purloined Letter are amongst his most popular short stories.
