I was always more of a Robert Munsch fan.

So many great stories and poems.
But did you know this about Poe?
He was also a fantastic literary critic. He knew what made for good writing.
He mastered a little known genre called "prose poems"; that is, prose stories written in poetic language. See his story "Silence: A Fable."
He basically also invented the modern detective story.
