Edgar Poe

Morticia Knight

Gloom, dread and fear possess the House of Usher and its inhabitants. But Edward sees nothing but light and love in the fair Madeline. Can he save her from the deadly illness that has plagued the Usher family for centuries—before it is too late? Invited to the gloomy, decaying House of Usher by a boyhood chum, Edward is perplexed by his friend's mysterious affliction. Roderick tells him that it is a curse on his family, and that all of the Ushers must eventually succumb. Upon briefly viewing Roderick's sister—the lovely Madeline—Edward determines to save both her and Roderick from their awful fate. But there are strange twists and turns that Edward encounters in his quest to discover the truth of the puzzling illness. Is the valet Henry up to no good? Does the house itself hold some unnatural sway over its residents? Or is there an even more sinister explanation? When Edward finally chances to meet the Lady Madeline secretly, he has no doubt that only his love and resolve can save her. One night, it appears that he hasn't acted soon enough. Is there still hope that he can rescue sweet Madeline from the clutches of the evil House of Usher? You only pay for the words our authors have added - not for the original content
