The Fall of the House of Usher, (1840) is "... a fantastical tale of the impossible that manifests the crumbling nature of Roderick Usher's inner decay ..." Don't miss Usher bemoan "... the cry of the wind, (and) ancient things groaning under the weight of age." Usher is both, "A death, (and) a resurrection". (Poe and Performance, Berkoff). Poe’s masterful story of insanity lures us into a surreal and occult dream world, blurring the boundaries between life and death, body and soul, and beauty and decay.

The Tell-Tale Heart (1834) is Poe’s masterfully composed tale of a murder, a dramatic monologue by a murderer creating the utmost suspense by re-counting and reliving the deed – at the same time psychological study of an abnormal consciousness.
