Edgar Allan Poe was an American poet, short story writer, playwright, editor, critic, essayist and one of the leaders of the American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of the macabre and mystery, Poe was one of the early American practitioners of the short story and a progenitor of detective fiction and crime fiction. He is also credited with contributing to the emergent science fiction genre.

Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque Short Fiction - Horror (published in 1840)
Ye who read are still among the living, but I who write shall have long since gone my way into the region of shadows.

And when seen there will be some to dis- believe, and some to doubt, and yet a few who will find much to ponder upon in the characters here graven with a stylus of iron.
