Is the clause in parentheses an adjective or adverb clause?

Edgar Allan Poe was an American author (who wrote Gothic and macabre short stories).

"(who wrote Gothic and macabre short stories)" would be an adjective clause since it is modifying a noun Edgar Allan Poe). If it were modifying a verb it would be an adverbial phrase.
