Clarification on Q42
"If your author is not Edgar Allen Poe (Ruffdove's question above), is it either Nathaniel Hawthorne or Washington Irving."
Sorry, bad wording. I was asking about the author, but hold me to it and please take this as a new question.

[bananabadger]

Are you the Headless Horseman?
If “no,” are you written by Hawthorne?

[lostcheerio]

Are you Rappaccini's Daughter? Beatrice Rappaccini?

[Black Jim]

I am Beatrice Rappaccini!!

Congratulations to lostcheerio

Giacomo Rappaccini, a medical researcher in Padua, grows a garden of poisonous plants. He brings up his daughter to tend the plants, and she becomes resistant to the poisons, but in the process she herself becomes poisonous to others. The traditional story of a poisonous maiden has been traced back to India, and Hawthorne's version has been adopted in contemporary works.

DC Comics' Poison Ivy is partly inspired by Hawthorne's story.

Monica Rappaccini, a fictional villain and biochemical genius in the Marvel Comics Universe, is named after the Rappaccini of Hawthorne's story. Her daughter, Carmilla Black, is, like Beatrice, both immune to poisons and able to deliver poisonous infection to another individual.

The song "Running through the Garden" was written by Stevie Nicks after reading "Rappaccini's Daughter".

Theodora Goss's 2017 book The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter features Beatrice Rappaccini as one of its main characters.

In the Ravenloft campaign setting for Dungeons & Dragons there are creatures called Ermordenungs; former humans who, through some unknown, torturous process, have been transformed into beautiful men and women with a deadly poisonous touch. They are immune to all other poisons except that of another Ermordenung, making physical relationships between them, or anyone, impossible.
