Description
Mention the word “nevermore” and at least a few people will recognize the famous poem “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe (1809-49). Fewer will know the real story behind this author, editor, and critic who died at the age of 40. Poe laid the basis for detective fiction and inspired Jules Verne, H. P. Lovecraft, Alfred Hitchcock, and others, with his chilling macabre tales.
