Fall of the House of Usher & Other Writings - Edgar Allan Poe

The Fall of the House of Usher and Other Writings is a collection that displays the full force of Edgar Allan Poe's mastery of both Gothic horror and the short story form.

'The Fall of the House of Usher' is a slow-burning Gothic horror, describing the final hours of a family tormented by tragedy and the legacy of the past. In 'The Tell-Tale Heart', a murderer's insane delusions threaten to betray him, while stories such as 'The Pit and the Pendulum', 'The Raven' and 'The Cask of Amontillado' explore extreme states of decadence, fear and hate.
