About this listen

Step into the haunting world of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death, a gothic masterpiece that explores the illusion of safety, the inevitability of death, and the futility of escaping fate.

Set against the backdrop of a deadly plague, this chilling allegory follows Prince Prospero as he retreats into a lavish abbey with his courtiers, hoping to avoid the Red Death.

Poe’s vivid imagery, symbolic use of color, and masterful suspense create a powerful meditation on mortality that continues to captivate listeners over a century later.

Perfect for fans of dark fiction, philosophical horror, and classic American literature.
