Hugo, Locus, and Nebula Award-winning author T. Kingfisher presents a gripping, atmospheric retelling of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher
*A very special hardcover edition with foil stamping on the cover and custom endpapers drawn by the author.*
When retired soldier Alex Easton receives word that their childhood friend Madeline Usher is dying, they rush to the Usher family’s ancestral home in the remote countryside of Ruritania.
They discover a dark, pulsating lake surrounded by fungus, possessed wildlife, and a nightmare. Madeline sleepwalks and speaks strange words at night, while her brother Roderick suffers from a mysterious neurological disease.
With the help of a formidable British mycologist and a bewildered American doctor, Alex must unlock the secrets of the House of Usher before it consumes them all.
