master of horror  

I haven't read any Edgar Allen Poe in a long time. I remember in fifth grade our teacher read us a couple of his stories. I think he read to us: The Pit & The Pendulum and The Tell-Tale Heart. I really liked both of those. I should check out more of his stuff now that I'm older.

The Fall of The House of Usher is about this guy who goes to visit his friend and finds out that his friend's family illness is starting to effect his friend too . When he is visiting his friend his friend's sister dies of the family illness and at one point they think she is dead and they put her into a vault basically but she was actually still alive when they put her in it . The thing with the sister leads to a very bone chilling ending which I'm not going to tell you because you really should just read it for yourself because it's just that good.

I agree. I definitely believe he is a master of horror. His writing is just so haunting and amazing. I love it. But I haven't read the fall of the house of usher so I don't know what it's about. But I hope if you read it that you enjoy it!
