The Fall of the House of Usher	comment	"The Fall of the House of Usher" is one of the most famous stories written by the father of Gothic Horror (in America, at least), Edgar Allan Poe. It was originally published in September 1839.An unnamed narrator arrives at a creepy, dark, decaying old castle to visit his friend Roderick, one of the last two descendants of the house of Usher. He finds that the Ushers are not well: Roderick is feverish and has extreme anxiety, and is also experiencing hyperesthesia (overly acute senses). His twin sister Madeline is also chronically ill and subject to attacks of catalepsy. While he is still visiting, Madeline dies, and he and Roderick put her body in the family crypt. Still, a creeping dread continues to hang over Roderick Usher..."The Fall of the House of Usher" is one of Poe's best remembered stories. It has been adapted many times for film, including a 1928 American silent short film, a 1928 French feature film, and a famous 1960 production directed by Roger Corman and starring Vincent Price. In collaboration with Netflix, Mike Flanagan wrote an eight-episode limited series and directed half the series, with the other half directed by his regular cinematographer, Michael Fimognari. Bethany Griffin based her 2014 book The Fall on this short story.
