The Fall of the House of Usher
by Sheba Blake, Edgar Allan Poe
"...yet I dared not --oh, pity me, miserable wretch that I am! --I dared not --I dared not speak! We have put her living in the tomb!" ~ [b:The Fall of the House of Usher|175516|The Fall of the House of Usher|Edgar Allan Poe|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1387708966l/175516._SY75_.jpg|15570703]
B.J. Harrison did a spectacular job narrating this story! When he did the monologueish bit at the end, I literally got goosebumps! I recommend this as the perfect Halloween audiobook.
What's great about this story is that it balances out the dramatics really well. There's no dramatic intensity until the end, and at that point, it becomes well-earned from all the suspense. The Usher family is so intriguing - I could've never predicted the ending! I noticed too that [a:Edgar Allan Poe|4624490|Edgar Allan Poe|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1454522972p2/4624490.jpg] went a little crazy with his use of imagery in this one. I loved how he described what the Usher mansion looked like and I could picture every little detail. This story was thoughtfully spooky!
