  Edgar Allan Poe was one of the most important and influential American writers of the 19th century. He was the first author to try to make a professional living as a writer. Much of Poe's work was inspired by the events that happened around him. His poetry alone would ensure his spot in the literary canon. Poe's notable verses range from the early masterpiece "To Helen" to the dark, mysterious "Ulalume." From "The Raven," which made him world-famous upon its publication in 1845, to "Annabel Lee," the posthumously published eulogy for a maiden "in a kingdom by the sea." Most famously, Poe completely transformed the genre of the horror story with his masterful tales of psychological depth and insight not envisioned in the genre before his time and scarcely seen in it since. Stories like "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Cask of Amontillado," "The Pit and the Pendulum," "The Masque of the Red Death," and "The Fall of the House of Usher" reveal Poe's talent at its height. He was an early pioneer in the genre of science fiction. 
   
  Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer, poet, editor, and literary critic. Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States, and of American literature.

  No one who is listening to him will ever forget him: Nyarlathotep – the Crawling Chaos.Who or what is Nyarlathotep? An artist, a scholar, a prophet …? Only one thing is for sure: Wherever the Egyptian shows up, he implants cosmic horror into the people's minds. What has been premonition yesterday has become horrible certainty today. Where is mankind going? From light into darkness, from city to wilderness, along the ruins of our civilisation … straight into the heart of chaos.But rarely Nyarlathotep has been more appealing than in the actual prose poem.That of course is also due to the irrational, dreamlike narrative tone. The narrator Dominik Valentin Peter takes up Lovecraft's voice in a congenial way. By virtue of his recitation, he actually is bringing the visions of the cosmic evangelist to life. Last but not least the suggestive sounddesign plays a part in creating an atmosphere of fear and desperation.
