Description
On a melancholic autumn day, a horseman approaches a gloomy castle made of crumbling stone in the middle of a black lake, from which the stumps of dead trees protrude... ***** A scene straight out of an English Gothic novel – and yet it is the work of one of the founders of American literature. A reader who enjoys a pleasant shiver of horror will find a whole range of other romantic props in the story 'The Fall of the House of Usher': long, desolate corridors, mysterious illnesses, and eerie nighttime sounds. The narrator of the story constantly tries to rationally explain all the mysterious phenomena, but in the end, just like us, he remains standing in horror over the inexplicable climax of the story... ***** This and several other stories are brought to you in a new edition as an indispensable part of the Fobos series.
