Edgar Allan Poe
In addition to his poetry, Edgar Allan Poe is well-known for his enigmatic and seductive short stories, including The Fall of the House of Usher, The Tell-Tale Heart, and The Masque of Red Death.
Naturally, no discussion of Poe would be complete without including his works A Dream Within a Dream, Annabel Lee, and The Raven.
