Description

Roderick Usher was the last of an ancient line. One day he invited a friend from his youth to stay at his family castle, which stood by a gloomy lake. Roderick’s sister, Lady Madeline, is hopelessly ill, and her days are numbered. Even the friend’s arrival didn’t dispel the sadness of Usher.
After burying his sister, soon he learns that she was still alive… And then she rose from the coffin and appeared before him. What happened next in that ominous castle by the lake?
