He invented the detective story, wrote wonderful prose and poetry, and wrote at a time when the "GOTHIC NOVEL" was all the rage both here and in England.

Meager talent? Hardly that and a far better writer than that hack Stephen King!

Though you obviously don't appreciate his work, you are hardly a knowledgable nor qualified judge of Poe's abilities, the era in which he wrote, or a credible reviewer.

Hardly meager. Albeit, Poe was a strange cat.
