Troubadour
I would describe Poe as haunted more than miserable. I think Lovecraft was miserable, but he was struggling with mental illness.
Perhaps part of the confusion is that pain is one of the stepping stones to great art. Some people cultivate their pain out loud to improve their art. That can be hard on the listeners, but perhaps useful for the artists.
As writers we know that the way help readers connect with our characters is to make the characters suffer. Perhaps the miserable writers just want people to connect with them.
