Huh.  I thought The Gold Bug was something of the first detective story...

That's a good idea about a Masque of the Red Death haunt.  Be tricky to stage the suspended burning, though, and also to do it safely.

Gold Bug? It's not much a detective story, but a treasure hunt, and you spend much of it wondering if the narrator is insane.  I guess "National Treasure" of it's time.  It's famous for the use of a cryptograph (IIRC there was a contest to anyone that could decipher it as well), however, and making cryptography popular.

I don't think I ever read that one, and may have been misled.

I don't think I've cracked open any non-poetry Poe in over 30 years.  The poetry has aged better because you expect a florid style with poetry.
