THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER
Writer: Edgar Allan Poe/Raul Garcia
Artist: Raul Garcia
Publisher: ABLAZE Publishing
Cover Price: $16.99
Release Date: February 27, 2024
Edgar Allan Poe's gothic tale of the decaying Usher mansion comes to life in an all-new way!
In this graphic novel edition of The Fall of the House of Usher, Raul Garcia adapts his animated short, The Fall of the House of Usher, now streaming on Prime Video, and as a part of the animated feature Extraordinary Tales.
A traveler arrives at the Usher mansion to visit his old friend, Roderick Usher. Upon arriving, however, he discovers that Roderick and his sister, Madeline, have been afflicted with a mysterious malady: Roderick's senses have become painfully acute, while Madeline has become nearly catatonic. That evening, Roderick tells his guest of an old Usher family curse: any time there has been more than one Usher child, all siblings have gone insane, dying horrible deaths. As the days wear on, the effects of the curse reach their terrifying climax.
In this adaptation, the celebrated animator translates the cinematographic language into the comic medium.
As a bonus, the original Edgar Allan Poe prose story is included!
