La caída de la Casa Usher es la quintaesencia del cuento gótico: una casa embrujada, un paisaje lúgubre, dos hermanos gemelos, una enfermedad misteriosa. Todos los elementos del género son fácilmente identificables y, sin embargo, parte del terror que inspira esta historia se debe a su vaguedad; no podemos decir a ciencia cierta en qué parte del mundo o exactamente cuándo tiene lugar la historia. Estamos solos con el narrador en este espacio embrujado, y ni nosotros ni el narrador sabemos por qué. Publicado por primera vez en 1839, es una de las obras de Poe preferidas por la crítica y la que el propio autor consideraba la más lograda que había escrito.
The Fall of the House of Usher is the quintessential gothic tale: a haunted house, a gloomy landscape, two twin brothers, a mysterious illness. All the elements of the genre are easily identifiable, and yet part of the terror this story inspires is due to its vagueness; we cannot say for sure where in the world or exactly when the story takes place. We are alone with the narrator in this haunted space, and neither we nor the narrator know why. First published in 1839, it is one of Poe's works preferred by critics and the one that the author himself considered the most successful that he had written.
