More About This Book

Overview

This selection of Poe's critical writings, short fiction and poetry demonstrates an intense interest in aesthetic issues and the astonishing power and imagination with which he probed the darkest corners of the human mind. "The Fall of the House of Usher" describes the final hours of a family tormented by tragedy and the legacy of the past. In "The Tell Tale Heart", a murderer's insane delusions threaten to betray him, while stories such as "The Pit and the Pendulum" and "The Cask of Amontillado" explore extreme states of decadence, fear and hate.

A visitor to a gloomy mansion finds a childhood friend dying under the spell of a family curse.

    Scared Out Of My Mind

    The Fall of the House of Usher and Other Short Stories was a phenomenal book. It should receive four stars because it keeps you interested, it is very well written, and you feel like you are actually there in the story. The Fall of the House of Usher and Other Short Stories is one of Edgar Allan Poe¿s books of short stories. The stories are eerie, suspenseful, bizarre, and kind of repetitive. His stories are murder mysteries, or they are about characters with unnamed diseases that go crazy. The stories usually take place in New York City during the mid to late 1800s.
    If you like Sherlock Holms, are interested in Psychology, or like to read about diseases then Edgar Allan Poe¿s short stories are for you. These stories are hard to comprehend on the account of his colorful vocabulary. So, Young Adults and Adults, this book is for you. Small children probably should not read his stories because of the gruesome things that occur in his stories.
