The story is about a man who thinks he is going to die very soon because of his mad sister. The man's name is Usher. Another man, his old friend, came to Usher's house to help him. One day’s morning, the friend notices that an evil creature making Usher mad and the creature is coming over to the house again very soon. He tried to stand up to it, but in the long time, all families of Usher have died out.
This novel also contains some other stories and all of them are kind of horror. Every story has a bad, hopeless ending. I love horror movies and novels, so I really enjoyed them so much.
Edgar Allan Poe, the author, is a very well-known horror and detective novelist. I had never read his books until these days, but I have heard his name long time ago. He died so young, but he had left many masterpieces to us. Additionally, his real life is also very dramatic. When Edgar was a poor man, he had married to a thirteen years old girl. People belive that Edgar has a bad mental habit, but he was just loves his little, sweet wife. As his wife died by tuberculosis germs, Edgar feels his life is over too. Then two years later, Edgar has dead. Before his death, he send a poet which about his lovely wife to a news paper. According to the poet, when his wife almost dead, she whispered to him just like this:“As I’m dead, I will be an angel to protect you. I will hold your head warmly when you did something wrong. I will be with you for keeps.” It's a impressive story more than novels, isn't it?
