The Mystery of Edgar Allan Poe’s Death
Episode 46: The Mystery of Edgar Allan Poe's Death Edgar Allan Poe, born January 19, 1809, was an American writer, poet, author, editor, and literary critic, who is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre.
