Poe, at worst, was depressive. His madness was part of the smear campaign by Rufus Griswald. Poe not only wrote his dark poetry and short stories, but, at the same time, he also produced an incredible amount of brilliant nonfiction and reviews.
True story…owing to Poe being “the proud son of Baltimore” and having written “The Raven”, it was decided that, when the original Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore, they would be called The Baltimore Ravens.

Poe’s fiction is unforgettable, even 50 years later. I named an inquisitive crow in my garden ’Edgar Allan Crow’.
