Yesterday was the anniversary of the birth of a tragic but admired American author, Edgar Allan Poe. Born on January 19, 1809, in Boston, he is famous for stories of mystery and the macabre, and excelled in writing poems and short stories. He is also considered the inventor of the detective story as a genre.
