Based on ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ by Edgar Allan Poe, this was a fantastically eery retelling.

As a four hour audio book, it was a very quick read but enjoyed the creepy atmosphere and characterisation of the deterioration of Madeline Usher.

I found  myself thoroughly engrossed by the writing style and actually felt my heart racing at some scene which really freaked me out. 

Highly recommend as a spooky season audio book!
