Staff Report / brooklynlocal.org
Edgar Allan Poe is often called the "Father of American Gothic" for his contributions to literature that delve into horror and psychological terror. His notable works include "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Fall of the House of Usher," and "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket." These stories reflect his signature style and thematic focus. The New York Public Library has highlighted Poe's works and provided an introduction by Jeffrey Meyers on "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket."
