He is regarded as one of the worlds great short story writers as well as a great lyric poet  and is credited with inventing the detective story and the modern gothic horror tale. He has been an important influence on many major American and European writers including William Faulkner  Fyodor Dostoevsky  Baudelaire  H.P. Lovecraft  and William Butler Yeats  among many others.
