The Fall of the House of Usher

Pad kuće Usher (engleski: The Fall of the House of Usher) je kratka horor priča američkog književnika Edgara Allana Poea originalno objavljena 1839. godine. Radnja se prikazuje preko neimenovanog naratora koji je došao posjetiti svog bolesnog prijatelja Rodericka Ushera, i koji se pri tome suočava sa njegovom isto tako bolesnom sestrom i nizom zastrašujućih događaja koji je sugeriraju da je Usherova kuća živa. Pad kuće Usher se smatra jednim od najpoznatijih djela tzv. gotskog žanra, odnosno Poeovog opusa. Kasnije je postala predmetom niza filmskih adaptacija, od kojih je možda najpoznatija House of Usher Rogera Cormana iz 1960. godine.
