E.A. Poe pretty much started the detective genre and The Murders in the Rue Morgue is a detective tale with what many would agree is an odd twist at the end when the murderer is revealed. Of course though we wouldn't probably think it very graphic now you have to remember that Poe died in 1849 at which time it may have seemed so. I mean back then it was the age of the Penny dreadful and the writing style of real news was a lot different than it is today as well.
