  • "The Fall of the House of Usher, originally appeared in Burton's Gentleman's Magazine, September 1839, is often considered Poe's masterpiece. Roderick Usher lives in a decaying family mansion with his sister Madeline. The narrator is an old school friend, summoned by Roderick, who finds Usher a dying man, depressed beyond cure and helpless with fear. The Ushers have decayed, and Roderick and Madeline have responded to the decay with a decadence which seals their fate, with the horrified narrator as solitary witness."@en
