Dusting Off the Classics Book Group-- The Fall of the House of Usher Online
Join us for “Dusting Off the Classics” with facilitator Christopher Proctor. This month we're discussing The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe. This event is hosted with a hybrid model-- come to the library Auditorium if you prefer in person events, but we’ll email you a link to join the discussion on Zoom. We look forward to hearing your thoughts.
"The Fall .. " recounts the terrible events that befall the last remaining members of the once-illustrious Usher clan before it is -- quite literally -- rent asunder. With amazing economy, Poe plunges the reader into a state of deliciously agonizing suspense. It's a must-read for fans of the golden era of horror writing. "The Fall .." is one of Poe's best known short stories - if not the best.
