only by this type of reader but also by a special type of writer. His influence is evident in many remarkable phenomena in world literature. As the founder of the detective genre, he equally successfully created masterpieces in other genres: horror novellas with elements of fantasy; romantic stories about love that knows no bounds; and much more. The singer of «anxious rustlings» Edgar Poe is unmatched in all he is famous for in modern thrillers. The liminal states, the horror of the soul before the abyss, the split consciousness are masterfully depicted in his novellas. Precision in details, authorial detachment, a subtle parody of the nightmares of the Gothic novel — these and other distinctive features of Edgar Poe's prose have allowed it to become captivating reading for many generations. The collection «The Fall of the House of Usher» includes some of the best works of Edgar Poe — psychological, detective, and fantastic. Mysterious stories in which it is difficult to draw the line between reality and fiction, while horror suppresses all other feelings.
