The Mask of the Red Death

In the brief life of Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849), there was place for theatrical footlights and military slogans, noble luxury and astronomical debts, distant moves, heavy trials, destructive addictions — and an endless love for his native literature, which sometimes... was the only thing that remained with him amid destructive changes. Thus, in the works of the recognized classic of world literature, the search for treasures and desperate journeys, strange fantasies and nightmarish horrors, immortal love and the terrifying echo of posthumous experience coexist. What if a young beloved gains the ability to return from the other world, painting inexplicably transfers the human soul onto the canvas, and amid a secret masquerade ball, under the ringing of glasses and girlish laughter, Death itself appears? Open this collection of stories and look into the eyes of your fears to find out the answer.
