THE FALL OF HOUSE OF THE USHER & THE MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE

"The Fall of the House of Usher" is probably the most popular of Poe's earlier tales of wonder. The tale is autobiographical only insofar as it concerns a real brother and sister, James Campbell Usher and Agnespy Usher, Children of Luke Noble Usher and Harrit Ann L'Estrange Usher, Who were closet friends of Poe's mother. "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is a great literary monument. It may not be the first detective story, but it is the first story deliberately written as such to attain worldwide popularity. It is the ancestor of a vast number of works which have given much harmless pleasure to all sorts and conditions of men.
