“The Grandfather of Horror” ITF Read: The Fall of the House of Usher (1839 short story)

Before you react to Mike Flanagan’s latest adaptation, it’s worth
looking back at Edgar Allen Poe’s troubled life and iconic body
of work. In episode 288, Luke & James lay out the tragedies
suffered by a literary titan, learn about a suspect marriage to
cousin Virginia, quoth “The Raven,” explore the family tree of
iconic horror writers, meet Roderick & Madeline Usher, and
wall up some literary rivals with “The Cask of Amontillado.” Join
them next week as they dive into the first four episodes of the
Netflix show!
