His detective story, "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," introduced C. Auguste Dupin. In "The Tell-Tale Heart," obsession leads to madness. In poetry, "The Raven" is iconic, while "Alone" delves into isolation. Poe's works masterfully explore dread, madness, and the human psyche, leaving an indelible mark on literature.
