What is the Plot of The Fall of the House of Usher?

Edgar Allan Poe wrote a book called “The Fall of the House of Usher and Other Tales. It was first published in 1839 in a magazine called Burton’s Gentleman’s Magazine. This story was later included in a collection of Poe’s short stories called “Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque”.
