"...and now with a feeling of wild amazement--for there could be no doubt whatever that, in this instance, I did actually hear (although from what direction it proceeded I found it impossible to say) a low and apparently distant, but harsh, protracted, and most unusual screaming or grating sound...." What is the sound the visitor to the House of Usher hears just days after the death of Lady Madeline? The decline of Roderick Usher as he mourns his departed sister is a terrifying tale from the master of gothic horror, Edgar Allen Poe.
