Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
My pick this week is The Fall by Bethany Griffin
Madeline Usher is doomed.
She has spent her life fighting fate, and she thought she was succeeding. Until she woke up in a coffin.
Ushers die young. Ushers are cursed. Ushers can never leave their house, a house that haunts and is haunted, a house that almost seems to have a mind of its own. Madeline’s life—revealed through short bursts of memory—has hinged around her desperate plan to escape, to save herself and her brother. Her only chance lies in destroying the house.
In the end, can Madeline keep her own sanity and bring the house down? The Fall is a literary psychological thriller, reimagining Edgar Allan Poe’s classic The Fall of the House of Usher.
It's no secret that I loved Bethany's previous novels. I loved her twist on Edgar Allan Poe's Masque of the Red Death, and cannot wait to see what she'll do with his The Fall of the House of Usher. This one sounds creepy, unsettling, and just a little bit twisty.
It's subject matter, and release date are going to make it a perfect Halloween read!
Expected release date - October 7, 2014

This seems like it might be one of those books that keeps you up at night. I'm adding it to my TBR pile!!
ReplyDeleteI loved Masque of the Red Death so this is right near the top of my fall wishlist.
