Edgar Allan Poe / 爱伦·坡
Edgar Allan Poe enters the wiki through 82.闲聊伟大作家的八卦（第二弹）, where [[MihuanChishu|蜜獾吃书]] presents him as a founding figure for horror and detective fiction whose life was marked by poverty, orphanhood, school and military failure, alcohol, family rupture, and uncertain death. The episode treats The Raven as both a path to fame and a case where fame did not become money.
Poe is a strong case for Author Myth Deflation because the source refuses the clean gothic-genius image. It pairs literary influence with fear of darkness, graveyard childhood anecdotes, exploitative publication economics, a young cousin marriage, medical speculation, posthumous slander by an enemy editor, and later memorial rituals at his grave.
The Poe section also connects the episode to detective-fiction lineage. It moves from Poe as a source for horror and reasoning stories toward [[AgathaChristie|Agatha Christie / 阿加莎·克里斯蒂]], making the episode’s author gossip part of a broader genre-history chain.
