A new Mike Flanagan series remixes some of Edgar Allan Poes most famous works.
Other Poe stories will be referenced throughout the series as well.
The entire catalog of Poe is wide open.
Heres a quick rundown of the gothic tales thatThe Fall of the House of Usherpulls from.
In the week after they bury Madeline, Rodericks health deteriorates.
The narrator finds himself growing exceedingly nervous.
She wasnt dead, it seems.
Madeline dies, too (for real this time).
Understandably, this is too much for the narrator.
He runs away from the house and turns to see it crack into two and sink into the lake.
For starters, in his version, theUsher familyincludes more than two living members.
And the name of Rodericks one true love, Annabel Lee, comes from the poem Annabel Lee.
It was Poes final poem, which laments the death of a young partner.
Flanagan also borrowed other elements from the poets oeuvre to construct the eight-episode series.
