(4) YA Madeline Usher tells of the curse that's haunted her family for generations and that infects nearly everyone who crosses the threshold of the family mansion. Weaving forward and backward in time, from when she's nine until she's nineteen, Madeline's narrative blurs the line between madness and misfortune in this atmospheric but very slowly paced retelling of Poe's famously horrifying "Fall of the House of Usher."
