Description
A man arrives at the house of his friend, Roderick Usher, having received a letter from him in a distant part of the country complaining of an illness and asking for his help. As the man arrives, he notes a thin crack extending from the roof, down the front of the building and into the adjacent lake. It is revealed that Roderick's twin sister, Madeline, is also ill and falls into cataleptic, deathlike trances. Roderick and Madeline are the only remaining members of the Usher family. This edition of Edgar Allan Poe's classic, "The Fall of the House of Usher," is illustrated with posters and lobby cards from the 1960 movie adaptation.
