GOTHIC HORROR STORY!! THE FALL OF A WEALTHY FAMILY…

There was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart—an unredeemed dreariness of thought which no goading of the imagination could torture into aught of the sublime. What was it—I paused to think—what was it that so unnerved me in the contemplation of the House of Usher.

Slip behind the bleak walls and vacant windows of Netflix’s reimagining of the mansion of doom in this anthology of works by Edgar Allan Poe that inspired the limited series The Fall of the House of Usher. From well-loved classics like “The Raven” and “The Tell-Tale Heart”to lesser-known gems such as “Tamerlane” and “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” these collected tales have withstood the test of time, haunting readers for nearly two hundred years.

With a foreword by series creator and horror maverick Mike Flanagan, this anthology is the perfect viewer’s companion to Netflix’s The Fall of the House of Usher...”

THIS ONE WAS GOING VIRAL & I bought another version instead, last year (and love it and use it) but I find it comes off a bit too easily later in the day. So I’m trying this one! And I might just combine the two and see if the combined effort makes it last longer? I’ll update you.

UPDATE!!! I HAVE BEEN USING THIS & LOVING THIS!! My hair looks amazing. I don’t know if it’s just because of this combo, or if it’s combined with the new curling iron, but my hair is no longer frizzy and my flyaway baby hairs are a thing of the past!

OKAY SO… I needed help. My hair is becoming frizzy due to tons of baby hairs growing in (and I have natural curly hair) so they look like mad-hatter stuck my finger in an electrical socket flyaways. No matter what I do, how I flat iron, or curl, it’s just dry and frizzy and … so I asked chatGPT and it told me to use THIS.

HOLY MOLY the price… but supposedly this is a great deal and I selling out fast, so I bought it. Look at the size of those bottles!! These will last me long enough to make it worth it.
