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.

Honestly I tend to struggle with the language of work’s written around this time but Poe is the champion of ratcheting up and delivering on tension in such a short time.
