Edgar Allan Poe's Masque of the Red Death

As heard on National Public Radio and XM Satellite Radio

The wind blows unceasingly and the clouds hang heavy over the streets as the cries of the suffering go unheard. A terrible plague ravages the countryside, and no one is safe. But come with us now to the prince's costume ball, where the gates are sealed against the outside world, and within the castle, grotesque fantasies are played out in an atmosphere of glittering wealth.

Yet, even as the masquerade builds to a fever pitch, time runs out for the revelers within! This story was written by America's King of the horror tale - Edgar Allan Poe.

From the award-winning Radio Tales® series. Approx $5.99
