LANCELOT WAS
READING
THE PAPER
It just needs a 'U' to read as a pauper.
Lancelot was reading his paper. He
was sitting on the library stone, on
a surprisingly mild day, checking over
the words that Edgar Allen Poe would
say. I had just finished 'The Fall Of the
House of Usher', and wasn't really much
impressed. Gothic, eerie horror is not
my forte.
-
All that weird and gruesome stuff: The
strange doctor in the scene early on, as
if foreshadowing something dimly to
come. A mere suggestion of someone.
The bizarre yet angelic sister, who will
die by scene Four (if I had a way of
screenwriting the marks on the floor).
-
She gets buried alive, by her strangely
od brother, and the narrator too, who is
conveniently visiting the House and the
brother; old chums out of touch with
each other for a very long time.
-
In summation? A useless gothic horror.
