A gripping and atmospheric reimagining of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher” from Hugo, Locus, & Nebula award-winning author T. Kingfisher

*A very special hardcover edition, featuring foil stamp on the casing and custom endpapers illustrated by the author.*

When Alex Easton, a retired soldier, receives word that their childhood friend Madeline Usher is dying, they race to the ancestral home of the Ushers in the remote countryside of Ruritania.

What they find there is a nightmare of fungal growths and possessed wildlife, surrounding a dark, pulsing lake. Madeline sleepwalks and speaks in strange voices at night, and her brother Roderick is consumed with a mysterious malady of the nerves.

Aided by a redoubtable British mycologist and a baffled American doctor, Alex must unravel the secret of the House of Usher before it consumes them all.

M. Dearest, A. ,

Short, Sweet, and Interesting

This book made me look at my fish tank with a little bit of concern. It was a slow build up but stayed interesting. Satisfying ending.

I would revisit at a later date for a reread.

Whim1954 ,

Excellent!

Gothic creepiness and a killer tarn that…well that would be a spoiler, makes this retooling of EAP’s H of U pages a’flyin masterwork. T. Kingfisher is my new favorite author. On to the sequel. If you like this…check out “Mexican Gothic “
