In The Fall of the House of Usher, Edgar Allan Poe masterfully weaves a gothic tale of psychological horror and supernatural dread. The story follows an unnamed narrator who visits the decaying mansion of his childhood friend, Roderick Usher. As the story unfolds, the narrator uncovers the deep mental and physical decay of the Usher family, mirrored by the eerie and crumbling house itself. As tensions rise, the line between reality and madness blurs, leading to a terrifying and tragic conclusion.

This is a story from the Fall of the House of Usher collection.
