What is the new literary genre that Edgar Allan Poe credited with creating?

Edgar Allan Poe is often credited with creating the detective fiction genre, although it's important to note that he wasn't the first to write stories featuring detectives.

However, Poe's works, particularly "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" (1841), are considered seminal works in the development of the genre. He introduced the idea of a brilliant, analytical detective who uses logic and deduction to solve crimes. This, along with Poe's focus on psychological elements and atmospheric storytelling, laid the foundation for the detective fiction genre as we know it today.
