About My Story
Within the pages of HOUSES OF USHER, you’ll find my short story, “The Curse on the House of Usher.” Enter the Usher vaults hundreds of years before the Lady Madeline…
Finnian Ó Cosraigh, Baron of Wexford, is being held for ransom in the Usher vaults when another prisoner arrives – Annora, a woman accused of witchcraft. She claims that she is innocent, and that the powerful Ulrich Usher can vouch for her. As her execution looms ever nearer, will Usher speak on her behalf? And is Annora truly a witch, or only a woman scorned?
What Readers Are Saying
The contributors’ imaginations in Houses of Usher blew me away. Though they all draw inspiration from the same well, their stories and poems include twists and turns I never predicted.
Beautiful writing and lyrical prose in all stories that sets the right haunting atmosphere and transports the reader to another time and age.
