Entry #1
The story starts out with our narrator riding on horseback to a spooky mansion which he calls "The House of Usher", he does not know how that this is the exact mansion, but he can just feel it. We then learn of a letter he had received from Roderick Usher, who the narrator was friends with since childhood. Mr. Usher had told the narrator that he needed to see him; this letter was filled with so much "heart" that the narrator, without hesitation decided to go see Mr. Usher immediately. As he rode up closer to the house he could sense the Usher family somehow, "It was an atmosphere which had no affinity with the air of heaven, but which had reeked up from the decayed trees[.]" Lastly, he noticed what state the house itself was in, with fungi covering it and a "zig-zag" crack starting at the roof.
