The Raven (poem)

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

"The Raven" is a narrative poem of the horror genre published in 1845. Oft parodied and referenced, it is the most famous work by author Edgar Allan Poe, and to this day is one of the most well-known pieces of poetry ever written.

It tells the tale of an unidentified narrator who is mourning the loss of his love, Lenore, when he is interrupted by the tapping of a raven whose constant repetition of the word "Nevermore" increasingly aggravates him to the point of madness.
