The House Is a Vampire!
from Celebrate Creativity Hosted by George Bartley
Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 377 - The House is a Vampire! My name is George Bartley, and for the rest of this series, I want to really look into a house that might not make it into Better Homes and Gardens - but is often classified as Edgar Allan Poe’s greatest work. The story is definitely Gothic in tone, complicated from a psychological standpoint, and a great example of how Poe dealt with vampiric characters and themes. Madeline and Roderick Usher are both vampiric-like characters that seem to take the life out of each other. And even the house in which they live - with its eye-like windows - can be seen as a vampiric character. Support the show Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.
