Do you like mysterious stories with dark castles, secrets, and strange sounds?
Then The Fall of the House of Usher is for you!

This short story, written by Edgar Allan Poe, is one of his most famous tales. It begins when the narrator visits his old friend Roderick Usher, who lives in a large, gloomy house with his sick sister Madeline. The house feels alive, its walls are cracked, the air is heavy, and everything seems filled with sadness.

As the days pass, strange things start to happen. The sister dies… or maybe not? The story becomes more and more intense until it ends with a shocking scene that you’ll never forget.

Poe’s writing is full of mystery, fear, and emotion. He doesn’t use monsters or ghosts… The horror comes from the mind, from loneliness, madness, and the strange connection between people and places.

If you enjoy stories that make you think and feel a little scared, give The Fall of the House of Usher a try!
