The Fall of the House of Usher is one of the best works of gothic horror of all time. From its disturbing and bleak beginning, to its chaotic and spirited end; the short story is a masterpiece in horror literature. Everyone, and I mean everyone, should read The Fall of the House of Usher, even if you're not a horror fan, it's simply that good.

Classic horror is really hit or miss for me. I might have liked this of it was longer and more in depth.

Definitely one of the slowest-paced works I've ever read.  Poe takes his time setting the vibes just right, which means that it doesn't feel like much of substance actually happens and the ending felt sudden in comparison.
