Description
Alex Easton, a retired soldier, rushes to the ancestral home of their childhood friend, Madeline Usher, upon hearing of her grave illness. Upon arrival, Alex finds a decaying estate and a chilling mystery: the Ushers are afflicted by a strange, fungal-like plague that reanimates the dead and warps the living. As Alex delves deeper into the Usher family's dark secrets and the unsettling transformations occurring around them, they must confront not only the horrors within the house but also the terrifying implications of what truly moves the dead. This gripping novella masterfully blends gothic atmosphere with visceral horror, exploring themes of decay, memory, and the monstrous.

this was an absolutely miserable read for me. if i was being petulant i’d give it a 1 star, but i’m also cognizant enough to know that i strongly misunderstood what the genre was. the comedic tone then affected me so negatively the whole first half that my enjoyment simply never recovered. had i gone in with no genre or tone expectations it would have gotten a 3 so that’s what i’ll give it. i wish i could have enjoyed it more.
