... Edger Allan Poe was the first writer to start horror, death, and mystery into literature and poetry. ... A look into Poe’s childhood might tell where his fascination with death came from.
Edgar Allan Poe was born to Elizabeth Arnold Poe and David Poe, Jr. ... Around Poe’s second birthday his father abandoned his wife and three children, leaving Elizabeth to support the family as best she could. ... John and Frances Allan who never legally adopted young Edgar took him in. In 1815, his new family went to England where Poe attended Manor House School and other schools for five years. It was also in England where young Poe took interest in Gothic literature, which was very popular at that time. However, John Allan forbad him from studying what his heart desired: poetry. When Poe was 15, Jane Stith Standard, a person he looked up to like his idealistic mother, died.
