This is a pretty damn brilliant concept and retelling of Poe’s Fall of the House of Usher.
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.
