Abstract	Literary critics often compare Horacio Quiroga and Edgar Allan Poe based on their incorporation of similar themes, such as insanity, horror, and death. Critics have not however compared the two authors solely on their presentation of the theme of death in their short stories. The presentation of the theme of death in each authors' short stories reveals the unique abilities of each author. Horacio Quiroga does not simply imitate Edgar Allan Poe, but instead uses his influence to create a style of his own. In this analysis, I examine the narrator, the setting, and the imagery used in seven stories by each author in order to analyze the theme of death. I compare "Fantasía Nerviosa" by Quiroga with "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Poe, "El crimen del otro" by Quiroga with "The Cask of Amontillado" by Poe, "La llama" by Quiroga with "Berenice" by Poe, "El almohadón de plumas" by Quiroga with "Morella" by Poe, "El paso del Yabebirí" by Quiroga with "The Imp of the Perverse" by Poe, "El hombre muerto" by Quiroga with "The Masque of the Red Death" by Poe, and "El vampiro" by Quiroga with "The Facts in the Case of Mr. Valdemar" by Poe. Each story pair contains similar or contrasting overall themes, but the theme of death found in each story is multifaceted and shows the uniqueness of each author's writing style.
