While Poe is most famously known as an iconic Father of Horror, a deeper dive into his personal and professional life reveals brilliant contributions to literary genres like science fiction, the modern detective story, and even medical fiction. Explore the intersections of history and humanity presented in the life and writings of Edgar Allan Poe.
