Very dark and mysterious. The family suffers from an illness that in it it of itself is alive and tormenting the Usher siblings. The eerie atmosphere is very interesting to contrast the paranoia that falls in the setting.

A compelling story, yet as confusing as I remember it being when I was in high school 😂😂 just wanted to refresh myself before I read What Moves The Dead.

Shorter than I imagined, based on its fame. Remarkable that such a story is so affecting while Poe famously abhorred moralizing literature, denouncing the idea that art must mean something or have some moral of the story.

Knowing there is none here, I can't give it too much credit, in addition to being verbose. It was intensely descriptive, creepy and had quite the climax of an ending too. Super fun!
