Netflix's The Fall of the House of Usher connects itself to a multitude of Edgar Allan Poe stories.

Mike Flanagan's latest series has finally arrived on Netflix, and the entire thing is inspired by the many works of literature icon Edgar Allan Poe. The Fall of the House of Usher gets its name from one of Poe's famous works, telling the story of the downfall of a powerful man. However, that's just one of many Poe references in the series. Nearly every detail of the eight-episode series is some kind of reference to Poe's writings.

The Episodes and TitlesThe Fall of the House of Usher is the Poe story that provides the framework for the whole series, but Flanagan actually adapts seven more of the author's tales with individual episodes. Without giving details of the various plots away, each episode after the premiere focuses on a specific character, and that character is given a loose adaptation of a famous Poe story.

Verna and The RavenCarla Gugino's character is named Verna, a shape-shifter who appears as someone different to every member of the Usher family. Chaos and death follow wherever she goes. Various Supporting CharactersPretty much every character in The Fall of the House of Usher is named after someone created by Edgar Allan Poe. This includes all of the members of the Usher family, some of whom are named after characters in their respective episode stories, while others take influence from outside tales.
