Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher” (1839) is one of the most famous short stories in American literature. A tale of illness, psychosis and premature burial, the downfall of Roderick and Madeline Usher has horrified readers for generations.
Poe’s tale has now inspired a new Netflix series of the same name. The Fall of the House of Usher is an eight-episode anthology series by Mike Flanagan, the creator behind the streamer’s horror series The Haunting of Hill House (2018) and The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020).
