Author of the 28th Best Classic Horror Short Story 1800-1849 is Edgar Allan Poe

The classic king of the American horror short story, Edgar Allan Poe, makes his first appearance on this countdown. Poe was born on January 19, 1809 and he died of mysterious circumstances on October 7, 1849 at the age of 40. This is a link to a fine Poe biography by William Heath Robinson that I included in Edgar Allan Poe Annotated and Illustrated Entire Stories and Poems. I hope you enjoy it.

Stay tuned tomorrow when I will disclose Edgar Allan Poe's first tale on this countdown of the best classic horror short stories from 1800-1849. Thanks!
