The Fall Of The House Of Usher

Roderick Usher's fate is inextricably intertwined with that of his sister, Madeline, and that of their estate. As one falls, so do they all. "The Fall of the House of Usher" is considered Edgar Allan Poe's greatest work, and a masterpiece of Gothic horror.

A pioneer of the short story genre, Poe's stories typically captured themes of the macabre and included elements of the mysterious. His better-known stories include "The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Pit and the Pendulum", "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", "The Masque of the Red Death" and "The Tell-Tale Heart".
