With the calendar pointing to late October, reading trends this time of year often focus on tales of mystery and mayhem connected with the observance of Halloween.\u00a0 Counted among the most famous authors who represent this time of year so vividly is Edgar Allan Poe (1809-49).\u00a0 Among his varied literary accomplishments, Poe is often credited with being the first to create and popularize the genre of science fiction.\u00a0 Many of his stories touched on the darker side of human nature, but his writing style was unique and captured the public imagination.\u00a0 Within an academic context, the short stories penned by Poe are still assigned by many professors as required reading for their students to study and learn from in turn.<\/p>\n
