The Masque Of The Red Death - Edgar Allan Poe - Karbon Kitaplar

The Masque of the Red Death is a deliciously creepy and wonderfully bizarre story written by that early American master of Gothic horror, Edgar Allan Poe.

The Masque of the Red Death is one of Poes most brilliant successes on that front. From the opening line every element of the story feels perfectly designed to create a growing sense of  dread. At the same time, Poes wildly imaginative setting gives the story a make-believe feel (he did call it a fantasy, after all) that draws the reader in completely. Its as if Poe is able to pull you right out of reality, into his (or is it Prosperos) own dream. Which happens to be one heck of a nightmare.
