Amongst many other groups of writers, Edgar Allen Poe was a significant influence on writers of detective fiction. His story 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' is widely considered to be the first true detective story, in the style later employed by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in his Sherlock Holmes stories, for instance.
