Synopsis
From the award-winning author of The Twisted Ones comes a gripping and atmospheric retelling of Edgar Allan Poe's classic "The Fall of the House of Usher."
When Alex Easton, a retired soldier, receives word that their childhood friend Madeline Usher is dying, they race to the ancestral home of the Ushers in the remote countryside of Ruritania.
What they find there is a nightmare of fungal growths and possessed wildlife, surrounding a dark, pulsing lake. Madeline sleepwalks and speaks in strange voices at night, and her brother Roderick is consumed with a mysterious malady of the nerves.
Aided by a redoubtable British mycologist and a baffled American doctor, Alex must unravel the secret of the House of Usher before it consumes them all.

sympathique sans plus, j'ai passé un bon moment en écoutant l'audio book dans la salle d'archive au travail. j'écouterais peut-être la suite à l'occasion !
Franchement une novella très cool. Tout en horreur fongique et en personnages queer extrêmement badasss cette réécriture de la nouvelle de Poe "Le chute de la maison Usher" était fort plaisante.
