Edgar Allan Poe (born Edgar Poe; January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) was an American author, poet, editor and literary critic, considered part of the American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre. He is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.
He was born as Edgar Poe in Boston, Massachusetts; he was orphaned young when his mother died shortly after his father abandoned the family. Poe was taken in by John and Frances Allan, of Richmond, Virginia, but they never formally adopted him. He attended the University of Virginia for one semester but left due to lack of money. After enlisting in the Army and later failing as an officer's cadet at West Point, Poe parted ways with the Allans. His publishing career began humbly, with an anonymous collection of poems, Tamerlane and Other Poems (1827), credited only to "a Bostonian".

Plot: This Masquers short (the first of the series) is a parody of every old-time melodrama that trod the stages or graced the silver screen...Our Nell...the Old Folks at Home...the Old Homestead...the Villain holding the Mortgage...the pure-as-snow Hero with IDEALs...and the Old Saw Mill with the Heroine tied to a log rapidly approaching the the Old (but sharp) Buzz Saw. All with the Keystone Kops thrown in.
Keywords: 1890s, bartender, bound-and-gagged, buzzsaw, cigarette-smoking, cliffhanger, cop, crook, damsel-in-distress, daughterBehind these eyes, Lies a mind.
Controlled by the thrill of a kill.
They've put a price, On your head.
You don't mind you got a dream to fulfill.
It satisfies, Your every need.
There's no way you will stop.
A normal man in a normal world.
A disguise that you'll never drop.
Belated you lie!
Innocent, Innocent you die.
As sure as sunrise, As sure as tide
New blood will flow before the old has dried
Helpless you cry
Innocent, innocent you die.
The living nightmare has been released
His evil forces have been unleashed.
Another scene, The truth is so mean.
You blow out another, Human candle.
To dissevere a dead cold body.
To dominate, To devastate, Psycho!
Do you love to twist their dreams?
Do you come when you hear their screams?
Do you covet their lifeless limb?
The world is shocked, The cage is locked, Forever.
The dismal truth, So hard to face.
We're running out of time!
He loves the world, Where he is king,
Where he does whatever he pleases!
In his mind, He is God.
A sacrifice in human blood.
His sickened art, Is holy deeds.
Examined piece by piece.
Belated you lie!
Innocent, Innocent you die.
As sure as sunrise, As sure as tide.
New blood will flow before the old has dried.
Helpless you cry.
Innocent, innocent you die.
The living nightmare has been released.
His evil forces have been unleashed.
My race feels so much stronger now
My hands have saw decay?
When you're six feet under
You'll make your final stay
My anger, leaves the ground?
Spiritualize, I'm lost then found?
The Masque will always symbolize
The states of him, and in their eye?
In silence we all drown
In an ocean so red
The king of my killing
And i need you dead
It causes fear. It causes pain.
It drives us all insane.
Stay grey or we must pay?
Dominate, To devastate, Psycho!
Abuse, before you lose
You must never keep it shut?
Is it right?
In your Lie.
Innocent, Innocent you die.
As sure as sunrise, As sure as tide.
New blood will flow before the old has dried.
Helpless you cry.
Innocent, innocent you die.
The living nightmare has been released.
His evil forces have been unleashed.
Belated you lie!
Innocent, Innocent you die.
As sure as sunrise, As sure as tide.
New blood will flow before the old has dried.
Helpless you cry.
Innocent, innocent you die.
The Masque will always symbolize,
The states of death will end their lives?
