When Alex Easton, a retired soldier, receives word that their childhood
friend Madeline Usher is dying, they race to the ancestral home of the
Ushers in the remote countryside of Ruritania.
What they find there is a nightmare of fungal growths and possessed
wildlife, surrounding a dark, pulsing lake. Madeline sleepwalks and
speaks in strange voices at night, and her brother Roderick is consumed
with a mysterious malady of the nerves.
Aided by a redoubtable British mycologist and a baffled American doctor,
Alex must unravel the secret of the House of Usher before it consumes
them all.
