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.

This *just* passes my personal Doctor Who/Star Trek measuring stick of tolerable horror (i.e., I can tolerate science fantasy stories that are as unsettling as the scariest episodes of those shows as long as they're also creative, interesting, thoughtful, contain endearing characters, etc.).

i wasn’t spooked or anything but i had no idea it was a retelling of edgar allan poe when i picked it up, which is on me i admit (i don’t like eap)
regardless, the book was boring.
not bad, not good, just blah. it was quick which is why i finished it in one sitting, but i just didn’t care about anything that happened.
the only character i hoped lived and that i actually liked was hob. yes, the horse. he was the only good person in here.
this would work well as a short film or movie i think. the vibes were there and it would’ve been more eerie and creepy in film form.
