What single effect does the setting and mood of this passage create
The room in which I found myself was very large and lofty. The windows were long, narrow, and pointed, and at so vast a distance from the black oaken floor as to be altogether inaccessible from within. . . . Dark draperies hung upon the walls. The general furniture was profuse, comfortless, antique, and tattered.
—“The Fall of the House of Usher,”
Edgar Allan Poe

The setting and mood creates a dark and depressing effect. Poe uses words like "black oaken" and "dark draperies". He describes the furniture as being "comfortless...and tattered." The room is not welcoming and almost seems to trap the narrator with it's "narrow and pointed" windows.

The setting and mood create a dark, uncomfortable, distressing, and obscure effect.

We can arrive at this answer because:

The setting describes a distressing and depressing environment.
The elements of the setting are not comfortable, do not express joy, and give a feeling of discomfort to the reader.
All of this creates a dark mood, obscure, which anguishes the reader and makes him tense during the reading.
This is because the reader understands that in an environment like this, nothing exciting can happen.

It's important to remember that “The Fall of the House of Usher,” is a short story that shows the moment when the narrator goes to visit an old friend named Usher and finds the friend's house in a depressing and negative state.
