Synopsis: 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 FlanaganThere 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.
