Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) is best known for his horror and mystery writing, but he wrote much more than that. Poe’s writing career started in 1827 when he released the book of poems Tamerlane and Other Poems, and since then he’s become famous for his poetry and short stories. His first popular publication was The Raven in 1845. That’s when Poe became a well-known, albeit not wealthy, writer. Students can’t (and shouldn’t) graduate from middle or high school without reading at least a few Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories. Poe’s writing spans genres including horror, gothic, and detective stories.
