Edgar Poe (1809-1849) commence à écrire en 1829. Considéré comme un poète maudit, ses écrits cauchemardesques et fantastiques sont aujourd'hui considérés comme précurseurs du surréalisme. C'est grâce aux traductions de Charles Baudelaire qu'il est connu en France.

Résumé
Before Sherlock Holmes, there was the armchair logician who never fired a shot. Before the psychological thriller, there was the murderer who hears his victim's heart beating from beneath the floorboards. Before every unreliable narrator who ever lied to us, there was the gentleman who insisted-too calmly-that he was not mad.
Edgar Allan Poe did not merely write stories, he performed experiments.
And in his tales of terror, he turned the Gothic inward. The true abyss is not the grave, it is the space between one thought and the next. His protagonists do not flee from ghosts; they are trapped inside minds that have turned against themselves. Poe was the first writer to approach the short story as a machine designed to produce a single effect -every sentence, every syllable, calibrated to deliver one overwhelming impression before the reader could look away.
The laboratory he built proved inexhaustible. From the symbolists of Paris to the noir corridors of Hollywood, from cosmic horror to the forensic procedural, the DNA of modern genre fiction is written in his hand. These Complete Works give us a new way of seeing-the conviction that the darkest alleys of the city and the darkest corridors of the mind are illuminated by the same cold, brilliant light.
