 Truly a marvelous retelling of Poe's Fall of the House of Usher. For such a short story this retelling manages to capture all of the same moods and feelings of the original and expand on them all. The look of absolute horror on my face when I had connected all of the dots (it's been a while since I read the original don't judge me) spoke volumes.
