The Death Of Poe

How did the Father of the Detective Story Die? Paul Harris in the Observer has a new view...

It has been one of the great mysteries of the literary world: the strange death of Edgar Allan Poe, perhaps the most famous American horror writer of all .

Since he died, raving insanely in a hospital bed, Poe's demise has been the subject of a multitude of theories, ranging from murder to mugging to alcoholism to political skulduggery to catching an infectious disease such as rabies. Now a leading American author, who has written a novel about Poe's death, believes that he has come up with convincing evidence that could at last solve the puzzle: brain cancer.
