Poe's classic story lives on in this Gothic book of ancestral madness in the mountains of modern-day NEW YORK, from a New York Times best-selling writer. Since Edgar Allan Poe looted a family's ignoble top secret record for his basic story "Nov the House of Usher", residing in the shadow of that unwell dynasty has been an inescapable scourge for years of Usher descendants. But not for horror novelist Rix Usher. Years back he fled the isolated family real estate of Usherland in the menacing NEW YORK hills to follow his writing profession. He promised never to give back. But his father's impending death has taken Rix back home to believe the role of Usher patriarch - and face his most detrimental fears. His entrance causes him to confront a devious and impassive family and his prone sister's slow descent into insanity. Stirring recollections of the grim folktales delivered from the surrounding Briartop Mountains and the terrifying legends of lacking children, Rix is aware that at night, twisted corridors of Usherland, that dreadful something he noticed as a boy is still there. It's waiting for him, as decayed and undying as the Usher history and even more depraved than anything Poe may have imagined. This eerie book by the Bram Stoker Award-winning writer of Swan Track and Boy's Life is "a terrifying pleasure" and a worthy tribute to the professional who influenced it (St. Louis Post-Dispatch).
