It's a bit difficult to classify Edgar Allan Poe as a good, evil or neutral influence on the universal literature, since he deeply focused criminal and sadistic stories which certainly influence the society in a negative way as a base of inspiration in doing negative or unproductive acts, but on the other side he's part of those writers which inspired the creation of the so-called villain movement within the science fiction category.
I will classify him as a simultaneous neutral and negative influence, while lacking an advanced knowledge about this individual's biography.
