'The Fall of the House of Usher' describes the final hours of a family tormented by tragedy and the legacy of the past.

These works display Poe's startling ability to build suspense with almost nightmarish intensity. David Galloway's introduction re-examines the myths surrounding Poe's life and reputation. This edition includes a new chronology and suggestions for further reading.
