Overview

Notes From Your Bookseller

Harrowing tales from a forefather of horror, this collection brings some of Poe’s best-known works together in one beautiful edition.

First published in a 1842 edition of Graham's Lady's and Gentleman's Magazine, The Masque of the Red Death tells the story of Prince Prospero as he tries to avoid a plague by confining himself and his nobles to a masquerade in an abbey. Often considered a gothic allegory, the story reflects on not only life and death but also the illusion of control.
