Duke of Buckingham.: "Fore Gad, these Frenchmen have no consideration!" D'Artagnan "I had forgotten that England was an island, and that you were the king of it." Duke of Buckingham.: "Go to the riverside, ask for the brig Sund, and give this letter to the captain; he will convey you to a little port, where certainly you are not expected, and which is ordinarily only frequented by fishermen." D'Artagnan "The name of that port?" Duke of Buckingham.: "St. Valery; but listen. When you have arrived there you will go to a mean tavern, without a name and without a sign—a mere fisherman's hut.

It's been ages since we've had a premium audiobook, hasn't it? But fret no more because we're back today with Ray Bradbury's haunting short story, Usher II!

If you're in for a story with a suspenseful and chilling atmosphere that will serve as a cautionary tale about the consequences of suppressing imagination (sounds familiar?) then buckle up your seats and prepare for one heck of a ride.

Also, don't forget to listen to a very important reminder at the beginning of the audio.

Enjoy! :)

NOTE: the story is part of Ray Bradbury's "The Illustrated Man," not "The Invisible Man" which was mentioned in the intro.
