Description:
A deluxe anthology of works by Edgar Allan Poe that inspired Netflix’s The Fall of the House of Usher, curated by series creator Mike Flanagan.
There was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening
of the heart – an unredeemed dreariness of thought which no goading of the
imagination could torture into aught of the sublime. What was it – I paused to
think – what was it that so unnerved me in the contemplation of the House of
Usher?
Slip behind the bleak walls and vacant windows
of Netflix’s reimagining of the mansion of doom in this anthology of works by
Edgar Allan Poe that inspired the limited series The Fall of the House of
Usher. From well-loved classics like The Raven and The Tell-Tale Heart to
lesser-known gems such as Tamerlane and The Murders in the Rue Morgue, these
collected tales have withstood the test of time, haunting readers for nearly
two hundred years.
With a foreword by series creator and horror
maverick Mike Flanagan, this anthology is the perfect viewer’s companion to
Netflix’s The Fall of the House of Usher.
