Summary

After receiving a letter from his boyhood friend that he is suffering from some sort of debilitating illness, a man feels compelled to travel to a reclusive mansion to assist him. He learns that his friend and his deathly ill sister are the last in the Usher line, slowly collapsing into madness.

The Gothic mansion seems to have a bizarre metaphysical connection with the brother and sister, and there are incredibly strange occurrences that continue to happen late at night. Will this well-meaning friend survive another night in this macabre Gothic house of horror? Find out in this classic Edgar Allan Poe short story, “The Fall of the House of Usher”.

This annotated edition of “The Fall of the House of Usher” includes:

  • Vocabulary builder for tricky words (great for children and folks improving their English skills)
  • Story summary (excellent for students to help with their studies)

Friendly Frog Press—where the classics come alive!
