FUN Costumes Edgar Allan Poe Men's Costume | Gothic Costumes Black

Fright Founder
What was it that gave Edgar Allan Poe his twisted imagination? Poe started writing at an extremely young age, publishing an epic historic poem at the young age of eighteen. The only epic writing we were doing at that age were angsty posts on social media! After that, he went on to write some of the most exquisite works of horror and remake the legacy of American literature.
Turns out, you don't need to be from the moors of England to access a truly dreary muse! Poe kept readers on the edges of their seats with stories of guilty consciences, clever revenge, and deep mourning. Basically, he had the macabre-minded Victorians eating out of his hand! Without his strange imagination, we might not have the rich horror and detective genres that keep us in goosebumps to this day, and what a dark world that would be...
