Where can you see edgar allan poe's influence on burton's work?

Edgar Allen Poe's influence shows primarily in the dark nature of Burton's work. His influence also shows in more subtle ways, such as the untraditional and quirky characters that are usually the protagonists. Also, both of them use protagonists in their stories that clearly have good and bad within them, rather than just good (as is typical). Mostly, Poe's dark fantasy influenced Burton to follow the same genre. 

The correct answer is option a.
