Edger Allan Poe
editEdigar Allan Poe was born in 1809 in Boston, USA. His parents died when he was yong, and he went to live with the Allan family in Richmond. He spent a year at university, and then two years in the army. In 1831 he moved to Baltimore, where he lived with his aunt and his cousin Virginia. For the next few years life was difficult; he wrote stories and sold them to magazines, but it brought him little money. But he did find happiness with Vieginia, whom he married in 1836. Poe is best known for his horror stories, but they are just a small part of his work. He can be called the father of the modern detective story, because of his story The Murders in the Rue Morgue-the first story to show how the detective thinks. He also wrote about other writers of his time. But to most people the name Edgar Allan Poe meams stories of death and madness, horror and ghosts.
