A review by agirlandherlibrarian
The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe

4.0

My Youtube chat about my love of Poe can be found here: https://youtu.be/UuggFRQIBOU (available from 13th July 2021)

There is nothing more satisfying than a short horror story that ends in wickedness, when horror is written for horro's sake and wins... there's a moral in the story, there's haunting wickedness, death trailing the hallways and a thousand people at a masqued ball thinking they can keep themselves from his grasp.

One of the most macabre stories I have ever read by Poe and he has a few of them! Read it, listen to it, I don't mind which, but do give it a try.
