Edgar Allan Poe, one of the founders of modern horror writing, has also influenced Stephen King's writing. It is in human nature to delve into the morbid realms of life, and both Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King do this in their writings. These two men appear to have an oddly similar morose obsession with death, terror, horror, and murder; many of Poe's and King's characters come to an untimely demise. In looking at both Poe's and King's works, one can see how Poe may have influenced King's writing.
