Edgar Allan Poe’s life was filled with trauma, tragedy, and heartache. His hardships influenced his writings greatly, making Poe a literary genius. While we may picture his life being spent writing horror stories, Poe found himself quite busy with a variety of other activities, such as attempting to solve real life murders, creating ciphers a-la the Zodiac, and making plenty of enemies along the way. This is Part 1 of Edgar Allan Poe.
