A Modern Detective

American author Edgar Allan Poe is commonly associated with the horror genre. Indeed, poems like“The Raven” and “Annabelle Lee” and stories like The Telltale Heart and The Black Cat lend credence and validity to this association. However, what most don't realize is that Poe is responsible for the modern version of one of the most popular and enduring literary genres: detective fiction. Fans of mysteries and detective stories will recognize the author as the namesake of the prestigious Edgar Award for outstanding mystery novels.

Edgar Allan Poe

Arte
Todo movimiento, cualquiera que sea su causa, es creador.
Edad
Los cabellos grises son los archivos del pasado.
Locura
La ciencia no nos ha enseñado aún si la locura es o no lo más sublime de la inteligencia.
Maldad
El demonio del mal es uno de los instintos primeros del corazón humano.
