Matthew's Journal

This is inspired by Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher (WP describes it as a retelling thereof, which I think is not really fair), and it's a nicely constructed horror story with a suitably creepy atmosphere. There's a certain amount of body horror here, so if that's not your thing maybe give this a miss.

But I thought this was a good reworking of Poe's ideas, and the narrator is nicely drawn and pretty competent (avoiding some of the horror tropes of "no-one but an absolute idiot would be doing this, WTF you fool" that can be annoying). Recommended (providing you like horror stories!).
