Edgar Allen Poe
I chose Edgar Allen Poe for a few reasons for todays topic. One, I am from Baltimore, Maryland and he resided there in his adult life. Baltimore, for some strange reason, take pride in him. Our football team is The Ravens, named after his work "The Raven", and our mascots are named Edgar and Poe.
Secondly, I chose this because as creepy as his work is, it is very entertaining.
Born January 19, 1809, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S. American short-story writer, poet, critic, and editor Edgar Allan Poe's tales of mystery and horror initiated the modern detective story, and the atmosphere in his tales of horror is unrivaled in American fiction. His The Raven (1845) numbers among the best-known poems in national literature.
