The atmosphere of horror and mystery in his stories, novels and poems is unmatched even today. So when you hear his name, the first images that come to mind are murder, a mysterious crow, a living grave and a strange woman who returns from the dead. We are talking about Edgar Allan Poe. He is also a poet, short story writer, literary critic and author of the first science fiction and detective stories in English literature.The strangest thing about Poe is that even death could not stop his writing! In the 1860s, a woman poet named Lizzie Doten published several poems and claimed that Poe's ghost told her the poems. After hearing this, Poe's fiancee Sarah contacts the woman and moves in with her, thinking that maybe the ghost will contact her too! Poe died at the age of 40. The mystery surrounding that untimely death has not been solved even today. He was missing for 5 days before his death. When he was found after 5 days, he was physically broken. He was taken to the hospital but could not be saved. He breathed his last in 1849. The advertised cause of his death is also quite strange: 'abnormal contraction of the brain'. Historians and commentators have speculated on various factors ranging from murder to rabies as the cause of his death, but have not been able to reach any conclusion till date. Was the invisible of whom, he was obsessed with, killed him?
