Number 8 and maybe #9 Candidates

Edgar, the inventor of the mystery; writer of many kinds of fiction including horror, sci fi, short stories, etc.as well as essays, was said to be a drunk who died of alcoholism. This is in dispute. One theory is that he was tired of writing and wanted to be a stand-up comic. Since he was familiar with the occult, he died in order to come back as a great comedy genius, Bob Newhart. Throw a mustache on Bob and take away the smile...eerie.
