Edgar Allan Poe is famous for both his gothic Horror writing and the gothic horror of his life. He wrote stories famous for their unusual endings, one of which was initially banned from publication because the bad guy got away with it in the end ("The Cask of Amontillado"). In his life, he spent some time in the US Army, married his 13 year old cousin, became interested in cryptography, is widely believed to have buried a treasure and hidden clues in a story (The Gold Bug) and eventually was found in a semi-conscious state and died a few days later in Baltimore and today scientist still are asking the famous question "How did Edgar Allan Poe die?"
He wrote a lot of poems and short stories, like the Raven, the Pit and the Pendulum, the Tell-tale Heart, and the Fall of the House of Usher.
Edgar Allen Poe is famous for the "Tell-Tale Heart", "The Raven", "Cask of Amontillado", and many other short stories and poems.

I think he was a poet that wrote poems such a "The Raven" and other emo like things.
