The Adaptation of Poe's Fall of the House of Usher by David Curtis was brilliant comingled with Bert Dodson's glorious illustrations truly bringing this dark tale to life.

Poe's narrative is so genius that even though some scenes may look like Standards from so many films and books that were inspired by his works, his texts are creepy and once we focus on reading and meditate on the scenes, they become a beauty sublime.

Usher's house is like this: a haunted place, surrounded by a frightened atmosphere, with people who look like ghosts all spinning in a sort of delirium between dream and wakefulness where realities mingle according to our perception. Its a good place to spend some time, isn't ? :)

A tale to read at night, alone at home and with a candle lit. If possible with a rain outside or a full moon in the sky.

I only give it 3 stars because I am not that much ogf a horror fan but it was really nice because he wrote everything down with so many details so the reader can imagine everything better . #WorldBookDay

I was creeped out. I think she was a vampire but who the hell knows?

The silent adaptation by Jean Epstein and Luis Bunuel is amazing.

I read this in middle school,however my parents and I watched the movie of it afterwards. I had to sleep with the light on for several months afterwards.
