"The House of Usher lives and breathes around Madeline. For generations, it has sent every Usher spiraling into madness. It claimed her mother and her father. Now it wants Madeline and her twin brother. And no one can help them. Yet no other Usher in the generations of their haunted family has known the house the way Madeline does. She may finally be the one who can destroy it all. Until she wakes up in a coffin." --page [4] of cover.
