Its a short story that's well worth reading. It has all of the elements that have given Poe's work the title of classic horror stories. I will be releasing this as a bookray for Halloween. Hope everyone will enjoy the book!

I got the book in a bookray and immediately sat down and read it. I love Poe, and this is one of my favorite stories of his. And the illustrations (by Kristopher Copeland) are incredible and fit so well with the mood of the story. Off to get it ready for its next destination....

I received this in the mail today from Katssokrazy in GA. I finished one bookray today and received another one in the mail 2 days ago ... but this one looks short enough that I should be able to finish it soon.
c. 1988 -- 47 pages -- Hardcover -- Classics -- Illustrated by Kristopher Copeland -- Horror stories
Summary -- A visitor to a gloomy mansion finds a childhood friend dying under the spell of a family curse.
Inside Flap -- What is this air of gloom and dread which grips the crumbling House of Usher? A series of mysterious and frightening occurences plague the inhabitants of this castle until the mental anguish and superstitions become unbearable for Roderick Usher. In this classic spellbinding tale by master storyteller, Edgar Allan Poe, this is no escape for you, the reader, from the fingers of suspense and terror. You will be fascinated and spellbound, and you, too, will experience firsthand "The Fall of the House of Usher."

I read this today in one setting ... and wow is it good!! Starts out slow ... and the suspense builds ... until the climax had me looking behind my shoulder, hearing noises (when I was home alone). A perfect read for Halloween!!!

This arrived in the mail on Saturday. I'll read it ASAP. Thanks! 

Journal Entry 9 by melydia from Centreville, Virginia USA on Saturday, December 06, 2003

What a strange story. For all the beautiful language and lengthy description, not a whole lot happens. The ending sort of rushes at you and suddenly it's over. All the same, it was pleasantly creepy and Poe is always good for quick chills when you need them.

I hope to mail this off to the next person within the week.
