Publisher's Summary

First published in an 1839 edition of Burton's Gentleman's Magazine, "The Fall of the House of Usher" is the story of the declining physical and psychological health of the residents of the House of Usher - and the way in which the house itself reflects that. Gothic in theme and style, the story is an exemplar of Poe's philosophy of composition, which dictates that literary works should be short and methodological and have a unity of effect wherein all the elements of the story are related and relevant.

Good for Halloween

If you want to listen to a creepy story for Halloween this is the one for you. It's spooky and will make you want to know more about the Ushers. Great story would read again.
