The Fall of the House of Usher

The house in the story is very melancholy. Usher and the narrator spend their time playing games and playing the guitar. Usher's sister becomes sick and falls into a death like trance. The house fell apart and collapsed.

"there was a long tumultuous shouting sound like the voice of a thousand waters-- and the deep and dank tarn at my feet closed sullenly and silently over the fragments of the 'House of Usher'."
