The Fall of the House of Usher is a short story written by American playwright, poet, and novelist, Edgar Allan Poe. Like many of the writer's works, the story centres around Gothic and dark themes.
Flanagan's mini-series is also called The Fall of the House of Usher, but is based on numerous works from Poe, according to Deadline.com,

Flanagan is known for several other popular horror TV shows and films, including Midnight Mass, The Haunting of Hill House, Doctor Sleep, and Gerald's Game.
