A review by learaloveslit
The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe

dark mysterious sad tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

4.0

I wanted to reread this before Mike Flanagan’s tv adaptation came out. I also wanted to read this before reading What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher. This short story did invoke feelings of fear in me, especially with the audiobook narration. The language is vivid and sometimes difficult to follow (old English, ya know) but even with the difficulties, this was a solid story and one that I will most likely reread.
