fall of the house of usher is an amazingly written story. What makes these types of storys great in my opinion is the word usage. For example Poe uses words like "dreary" and "gloom" to give the reader a since of eeriness. Most good scary stories or haunted house storys are able to get the reader to feel a certain way by their use of words and Poe does this.
secondly a good haunted house story is able to capture the reader and make you want to finish the story you are interested in whats going to happen next. I also felt a connection with the main character in the story I felt like I was their with him and I usually don't get that sucked in to a story.
Finally a good haunted house story can create a since of scariness before monsters ghost etc are introduced a good haunted house story doesn't need anything extra the extra just adds more to the story to make it better but you know its good if it relys on its self as a base to get the point across.
