The Fall of the House of Usher

Book Description:

The Fall of the House of Usher is Edgar Allan Poe’s quintessential tale of Gothic dread — a haunting narrative steeped in decay, madness, and the supernatural. When the unnamed narrator visits the crumbling estate of his childhood friend Roderick Usher, he is drawn into a world of eerie silence, familial torment, and psychological unraveling.

As a mysterious illness consumes Roderick and his sister Madeline, the house itself seems to pulse with doom. With lyrical prose and a mounting sense of unease, Poe weaves a story where setting and mind mirror each other — a chilling descent into fear, isolation, and the collapse of reason.
