Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe — 3 titles in the rankings, first published between 1839 and 1845. They average 8.0, above the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages.
Editor’s note The master of the macabre short story and of poems like The Raven, which is his best rated work here. The Tell-Tale Heart, told by a murderer who insists he is not mad, is a perfect few pages to start with; The Fall of the House of Usher is more ornate and rates lower. His works are short, so a collected tales edition is the best way in; he also more or less invented the detective story.
