The Fall of the House of Usher

Written by Edgar Allan Poe

Narrated by William Dufris

Edgar Allan Poe (born Edgar Poe) was born in Boston Massachusetts on January 19th 1809 and was orphaned at an early age. Taken in by the Allan family his education was cut short by lack of money and he went to the military academy, West Point where he failed to become an officer.

His early literary works were poetic but he quickly turned to prose. He worked for several magazines and journals until in January 1845 The Raven was published and became an instant classic.

Thereafter followed the works for which he is now so rightly famed as a master of the mysterious and macabre. In this volume we bring you some of his poetry, all less well known than his stories, but fascinating none the less. Some are dark and others speak of love. Together they help to round out Edgar Allan Poe the Artist. Poe died at the early age of 40 in 1849 in Baltimore, Maryland.

Reviews for The Fall of the House of Usher

[Joshua Zellmer · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

This particular recording repeated itself near the end. Not a bad story, but kind of annoying to re-listen to something already read moments before.

Chilling story! Wanted to prep myself prior to Mike Flanagan's adaptation if this story. I reckon the audio repeats itself in the end.
