We all know we are much in debt to Mary Shelly for what may be perhaps the greatest contribution to Gothic Horror in the 19th Century, her novel of "Frankenstein". But we must not forget another highly regarded gothic mystery and horror writer, Edgar Allen Poe. Poe's work has equally, if not surpassed Shelly's for the infusion of his work in literature and media. While "Frankenstein" has been adapted uncountable times in films, comics, toys and much more, Poe's work has had it's fair share of the same.
This article from the January, 2020 issue of SCFI NOW takes a look at Poe in the spotlight and his impact and influence on modern horror.
