Fall of the house of Usher Boxid IA1856701 Camera Sony Alpha-A6300 (Control) Collection_set printdisabled External-identifier Kirkus Reviews praised it in a starred review as "A standout take on the classic haunted-house tale replete with surprises around every shadowy corner.Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 17:01:58 Associated-names Poe, Edgar Allan, 1809-1849. With a sinister, gothic atmosphere and relentless tension to rival Poe himself, Bethany Griffin creates a house of horrors and introduces a whole new point of view on a timeless classic.
She'll do everything in her power to save him-and try to save herself-even if it means bringing the house down around them. But she won't let it have her brother, Roderick. The house itself is alive, and it will never let Madeline escape, driving her to madness just as it has all of her ancestors.
But how did it come to this? In short, non-chronological chapters, Bethany Griffin masterfully spins a haunting and powerful tale of this tragic heroine and the curse on the Usher family. And she was put there by her own twin brother.
The doomed heroine comes to the fore in this eerie reimagining of Edgar Allan Poe's classic short story "The Fall of the House of Usher." Gothic, moody, and suspenseful from beginning to end, The Fall is literary horror for fans of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and Asylum.
