The only bit of The Martian Chronicles that was a bit jarring to me,didnt fit into the lyrical style of the book,was the section about the House of Usher . It was a little too dark and gruesome for the book IMO,though it is darkly funny,and to fans of Poe there are lots of fun allusions to his work.. I just thought the theme of censorship was not quite in line with the rest of the stories.


I agree, that story really didn't fit in with the others.
