REVIEW:
I love the original Poe tale, The Fall of the House of Usher so as a reader, when I found out that it was being reimagined for a new generation I was more than happy to order a copy to sit back and devour.
What occurs within is a tale that is dark, harrowing and all round gives the reader a delicious outing with a principle character that you can’t wait to spend time with. Add to this solid storytelling, great prose and of course dialogue that just kept me turning the pages and all round I was a more than happy reader.
