Summary
The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe (Halloween Special)
This classic short story is getting renewed popularity from the newly released Netflix show called Fall of House of Usher, where each episode is named after a Poe short story and has themes of that story in that episode.
In the story, a narrator visits a childhood friend, Roderick Usher at his grand estate, where his presence has been requested to help with his illness.
I will be reading more Poe stories in time on our sister show Mysteries at Midnight, so if you like these types of stories, please search and follow the podcast on your podcast app of choice.
