Synopsis
A house contaminated by evil and a secret too ghastly to bear
The tale begins with the arrival of a mysterious letter to Jonathan Cresswell, a young architect. Sent by an old friend, Roderick Usher, the letter implores Cresswell to come to the House of Usher to make some badly needed repairs. His curiosity aroused by the urgent tone of the letter, Jonathan reluctantly accepts. Shortly after his arrival, Roderick takes Jonathan to a secret room where he tells the hideous truth about the house. Long before it was transported piece by piece from Europe, it was a place for the worship of evil. Enraged by the family's attempts to drive the evil spirits out of what is now the Ushers' property, the devil places a curse on the family.
