I am neither a crazy fan of poem nor detective storys, but Edgar Allan Poe really catches my attention.Born in America on January 19, 1809,Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor of the detective-fiction genre.His detective story is fansinating and i could not stop reading them.This is ironic to me,since i hate detective stories more than any other story types.His poem and story seems to have an unique allurance that attract me to read on.He was born as Edgar Poe in Boston, Massachusetts; his parents died when he was young.This might be the reason why he writes so many detective and mysterious poem/story, in his poem A Dream Within A Dream, he describes the unreality and the imaginary life of his real life.It gives the reader a little fright since there is a sense of sadness and twisting in it. This is most likely because his parents died when he is young.His mind is twisted and thus he began to write poems of bizzare things like a dream in a dream.It was very ironic that such a good writer have a twisted mind!

Unfortunately,Poe passed away at a mere-age of 40.One generation of great poet and arthur had gone,what leaves behind, are classics like tales of mystery and The Haunted Palace
