Publisher's Summary
One of Edgar Allan Poe's most masterful works of gothic horror, The Fall of the House of Usher, is everything readers have come to love about the legendary American writer. Follow along as an unnamed narrator transports you to the eerie halls of the Usher family mansion in a tale that will leave you breathless.
19th-century American literature legend Edgar Allan Poe is best known for works such as The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, The Cask of Amontillado, William Wilson, and The Murders in the Rue Morgue.
Poe's short story audiobook, The Fall of the House of Usher, introduces listeners to the only remaining members of the Usher family, Roderick Usher and his ailing twin sister Madeline Usher. The unnamed narrator, an old friend of Roderick, is summoned to the cavernous estate with eye-like windows when Madeline begins to experience spells of cataleptic, deathlike trances. The narrator attempts to soothe and entertain his friend Roderick with songs like "The Haunted Palace" as the estate's walls slowly enclose them all. A horror story ensues that can only exist within an Edgar Allan Poe story. This audiobook will leave listeners spellbound from the first lines to the chilling and shocking end of the story.
Narrating this Edgar Allan Poe classic is Tony Walker, whose voice transports listeners to a different time in the most captivating ways. The Fall of the House of Usher Netflix miniseries was created by American filmmaker Mike Flanagan and is set to be released sometime in 2023.
