Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) was an American writer, poet, and critic known for gothic poetry and short stories; he is an early figure in detective fiction (Auguste Dupin) and a central author of 19th-century American literature.

Poe's first collection, Tamerlane And Other Poems, was published in 1827 and presented anonymously as by "A Bostonian." He wrote key tales such as The Fall of the House of Usher and The Sphinx (1846). Poe created the detective Auguste Dupin; stories featuring Dupin include The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Marie Roget, and The Purloined Letter. He is widely known for the poem "The Raven" (1845).

Three appreciative DeBaser reviews examine Poe's 1827 debut Tamerlane, his 1846 tale The Sphinx, and a produced audiobook of the Dupin stories. Reviewers highlight gothic atmosphere, psychological pessimism, early detective fiction, and careful audio work. Overall the pieces praise Poe's enduring power.
