"Madeline Usher is trapped inside her family's decaying, haunted mansion. As her desperation to save herself (and her beloved twin brother, Roderick) increases, so does her strange illness... could it be that the house would rather let her die than let her leave? The Fall's intensifying pace immerses readers in a "thick, murky atmosphere" (Kirkus Reviews) of dread, building toward a dramatic, disturbing finale. Based on Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher, this twisted tale will hold special appeal for Poe fans, as well as fans of Bethany Griffin's earlier Poe adaptations, Masque of the Red Death and Dance of the Red Death."
