This retelling, however...if you weren't scared of the effects of mold in your walls, you will be thinking about it afterwards.
Atmospheric, gothic, fast-paced horror story! I'd recommend a read on a gloomy Saturday in November, get cosy, get creeped out!
Graphic: Classism, Confinement, and Death
Moderate: Body horror, Gore, and Injury/Injury detail

scared the shit out of me. i read the last 3/4 of the book in one sitting alone in the dark with a flashlight and i’ve never had such a visceral fear reaction to a book before (or even a movie). i highly, highly recommend if you like horror. and i recommend reading the poe short story after, too.

It sort of provides a logical scientific explanation for the downfall of the Usher siblings and their ancestral home, but while at the same time making it even MORE creepy.
What the author did to fill out the character of the narrator was really interesting, I liked kan a lot.

I enjoyed the writing and it was gross and spooky. I’ve never read the original so I can’t compare it. I liked the main character enough yo want to read the next one.
