Core 3: The Masque of the Red Death

The Red Death 

The Masque of the Red Death is about prince prospero and avoiding the plague of the “Red Death” a twist on the Bubonic Plague also known as the black death.

This is the author Edgar Allen Poe
During the book Prince Prospero throws a party and as soon as the guests arrive they close everything so no red death gets in. Later the clock strikes midnight and everyone freezes. Later in the middle of the dancing they realize someone is there who wasn’t in the beginning. He was dressed in very scary clothes and the Prince is very scared so he runs behind the man with a knife to kill him and he pulls back as soon as the Prince does that the Prince dies.

Poe wrote mostly gothic horror and fiction. The genre of this book is gothic horror with a twist on the black death. The point of this book is that death comes to everyone and you cannot escape it as hard as you try
