Author of "The Gold-Bug"

Ross

I believe the answer is:

poe

'author of the gold-bug' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for poe that I've seen before include "Edgar Allan . . ., American writer of horror stories" , "Author of The Murders in the Rue Morgue" , "Edgar Allan . . ., writer of spooky tales" , "He wrote short stories" , "Fall of House of Usher author" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
