The Fall of the House of Usher

This wasn't my first time reading The Fall of the House of Usher by any means — it's probably my favorite short story of Poe's, and I must have read it a dozen times as a kid. Edgar Allan Poe was my introduction to horror (well, EAP and Goosebumps), and this story in particular is most certainly what formed my early love of gothic horror. There's nothing to be said about this brilliant, terrifying little tale that hasn't already been said, but if you consider yourself a lover of gothic horror and somehow haven't enjoyed this masterpiece yet, I highly encourage you to do so!———twitter booktok bookstagram blog
