The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?

Edgar Allan Poe 

Edgar Allan Poe - an insane genius, an obsessed artist, a passionate revolutionist who turned the world upside down creating his literary masterpieces: "The Fall of The house of Usher", "The Raven", "The Black Cat", "The Masque of the Red Death", "Elonora" and many others. Making tangible contributions to the development of the genres of horror and science fiction, Poe is considered to be the father of the modern detective story and highly lauded as a master of lyrics. His thrilling, sometimes macabre, psychologically tense works touched the deepest reaches of his reader's soul. Isn't this unique personality  worth admiration of the whole Universe?
