"What was it --I paused to think --what was it that so unnerved me in the contemplation of the House of Usher?" Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Fall of the House of Usher" was first published in 1839. A narrator approaches the crumbling home of a childhood friend -- what will his next step reveal? Poe's descriptions of the scene are a work of gothic masterpiece, with each line driving the reader toward its unnerving end. Our homage to this piece is a scent that's stony and grey. Walnut tree and oak moss provide a sharpness that feels like an ill portent, while ghostly pine and white amber echo empty halls.
