Poe, John. W., Items. Born in Mason County Kentucky in 1850, John William Poe moved to Texas in 1868 to hunt buffalo. In the 1870s he served as town marshal for Fort Griffin, before becoming a U. S. marshal.
According to The Poetry Foundation, Poe is regarded as âthe architect of the modern short story,â and this masterful tale of psychological horror is one of âhis best and best-known works.â The story's effectiveness relies in large part on its narrative structure and style, both of which work to reveal the narratorâs diseased state of mind.
