The Fall of the House of Usher - The Original Classic Edition

Edgar Poe

Description

The Fall of the House of Usher is a dark, morbid, and absolutely creepy short story. Its a tale about a visit to the decaying House of Usher, a house haunted by the Ushers past evil.

In the end, their evil past ultimately becomes to great for the house to hold. The story emphasizes the gloomy, foreboding, atmosphere with great detail that never becomes too tiresome. The suspense is excellent. At the climax the reader is given hints at what is to happen, but still the reader is forced to hold his or her breath until it finally falls through.

As in most short stories, the actual climax and resolution seemed to be too shortly written. Thus leaving the reader wishing for more detail and depth, but really thats the only criticism...this story has all the gloomy suspense and horror associated with Poe.
