Besides the one innocent typo (Edgar "Allan" Poe is the correct spelling), there are some substantial factual errors. Poe did not invent Gothic fiction, for example; though the enthusiasm here is appreciated, the genre existed well before Poe - particularly in Europe, but even Charles Brockden Brown was practicing it in the United States before Poe was publishing. Additionally, calling him an alcoholic so matter-of-factly is unfair. Besides being an anachronism, the level of his alcohol use is strongly disputed, partly because the "benders" you allude to involved only one drink of wine. The final bender, in fact, is also categorically false. The physician that attended Poe on his deathbed recorded that he was not drunk and did not have the smell of alcohol on him. More than likely, Poe's death had nothing to do with alcohol and, more mundanely, was the result of a medical problem. I'm curious about the "vacant stupidity" quote and who these "onlookers" were (they must have broken into his tower room at the hospital, I presume).
