The Fall of the House of Usher (TV Tie-in Edition) by Edgar Allan Poe

5.0

I'm always a fan of Poe. I'm not a fan of the whole Netflix series stamps being plastered across book covers. Got this book as a supplement to the new Mike Flanagan series coming out next month, mostly as a refresher, but will be referencing it while hunting easter eggs in the show. Flanagan wrote a forward for this book that made me excited to see where he is going to take the show. The compendium of stories in this book are the ones that inspired the series.

3.5/5, rounded up! (and my first time rounding up a review)

I’ve wanted to get around to some of Poe’s works for awhile, so a curated collection with a forward by Mike Flanagan was a perfect motivator. Poe’s stories aren’t my favorite, but I still do recognize their significance in the horror genre and how influential they are in American literature in general. Also, this collection was insanely cool to read while starting up Flanagan’s new Netflix series, which definitely added to my personal enjoyment
