The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe’s short story was first published in 1839, so why not treat yourself to some classic horror ahead of Mike Flanagan’s Netflix series? (No release date yet, but it wrapped last summer, and stars Bruce Greenwood, Carla Gugino, Mary McDonnell, Carl Lumbly, Mark Hamill, Samantha Sloyan, Rahul Kohli, Henry Thomas, Kate Siegel, and many, many others.) In fact, you will want to pick up a Poe anthology and devour multiple stories and poems, because Flanagan has said he’ll be drawing inspiration not just from the title story, but other Poe works. You don’t want to miss an Easter egg for The Raven, do you?
