Nasce a Boston, Massachusetts, Edgar Allan Poe, poeta, scrittore di racconti e critico letterario americano, scomparso nel 1849.
Conosciuto come il pioniere del romanzo poliziesco moderno e per il suo lavoro pionieristico nel genere dei racconti, in particolare nei generi gotico e misterioso.
La scrittura di Poe era caratterizzata da un'interazione dinamica tra realismo e fantasia, nonché da un'attenzione al macabro e alla psicologia dei suoi personaggi.
Nonostante l'iniziale mancanza di riconoscimento negli Stati Uniti, il lavoro di Poe ottenne un'immensa popolarità in Europa, in particolare in Francia grazie al lavoro di Charles Baudelaire.
L'influenza di Poe può essere vista nei movimenti letterari simbolisti e decadenti, e il suo lavoro è considerato altamente moderno e influente sulla letteratura contemporanea.
Happy Birthday to Chris Stein, producer, writer, photographer, co-founder and guitarist of the punkrock / pop-punk / new wave band Blondie, born on this day in 1950, Brooklyn, NYC
