About the authors
Edgar Allan Poe
1809–1849
A master of mystery and the macabre, this American writer helped shape both modern horror and detective fiction. His poems and stories, including "The Raven" and "The Tell-Tale Heart," still feel eerie, sharp, and surprisingly modern.

A Scottish naturalist with a soldier’s title, he wrote lively and practical books on shells, birds, fossils, and even horses. His work helped bring nineteenth-century natural history to a wider reading public.
