Description: "An engrossing, creepy tale . . . Those who are already familiar with [Poe's short story] will enjoy this different point of view and ending. . . .The updated, supernatural spin will have savvy and reluctant readers hooked. An interesting addition to the 'twisted tales' genre." - School Library Journal (starred review) "The disjointed timeline and chapter lengths track along with Madeline's level of lucidity . . . making her overall narration fascinatingly untrustworthy. . . . An exquisitely wrought gothic tale for a stormy night." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Griffin excels at depicting chilly Victorian decay in a way that makes real the dour Usher curse." - Booklist "Readers will be swept away immediately . . .. A standout take on the classic haunted-house tale replete with surprises around every shadowy corner." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
