“Soldier uncovers horrors at cousin's decaying Usher house.”
BookTuber Opinions
Novella retelling Poe's Fall of the House of Usher—soldier returns to dying cousin's eerie house, stumbling on creepy strangeness. Love Kingfisher's style for horror. Builds suspense well in short form. Great for spooky fall, though collection cut down. Recommend for Usher fans.
