Author's prose regularly missed? (3)

I believe the answer is:

poe

(Other definitions for poe that I've seen before include "Edgar Allan . . ., American writer of creepy stories" , "He wrote short stories" , "Edgar Allen, great American writer of eerie stories" , "Edgar Allan --, US poet and author" , "Short-story writer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
