Publisher's Synopsis
The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe
A terrible disease called the red deadly spread throughout the country. It was unbelievably fatal, terrifying, terrifying, and half of the kingdom had been killed. But Prince Prospero, who rules these pieces, doesn't seem to care about his pitiful and dying story. But he decided to let the kingdom take care of himself as he and the thousands of his favorite knights and ladies shut themselves up in a beautiful castle for a never-ending party. Wine, woman, music, dance, fool. Prospero's castle has it all. After the last guest has entered, no one can enter - the Prince joins the closed door. That means no one can leave either ...
About five or six months into their stay, Prospero decided to have a gorgeous masked ball. (A ball in which guests wear masks and costumes) The setting is whimsical and ferocious, just like the design prince. The ball takes place in seven rooms, each dressed in a different color: blue, purple, green, orange, white, purple and black. The black room that looked like death was so eerie, it had dark black walls, blood red windows, and a huge black clock that rang every hour until everyone at the party stopped dancing and laughing nervously. Most of the fake impostors were too weird to enter the black room.
However, the parties were in full swing and everyone had a wild time when the clock struck midnight. Everyone stopped dancing and fell silent for a while. Then some dancers noticed a never-before-seen guest wearing rumored costumes. Whoever is the new guest, he decides to dress up as the corpse who died with... red death. He was like living a terrifying life. (Like a dead man?) He surprised everyone, and he slowly "stalked" through the frightened crowd. When Prince Prospero saw the dreadful guest, he was furious that someone might have been worried about wearing it and ordered him to catch him and expose. But no one dared to do it, including Prospero himself.
The Red Death impostor walked a few feet past the prince and began walking through the chambers, headed for the black room. Prospero lost it and ran after him in anger, drawing his dagger as he approached. But as Prospero reaches the edge of the black room, corpse-like guests come to confront him, and Prospero falls to the ground and dies. The shocked crowd approached the guests. But it will be found in horror that nothing is under the mask and the Red Death costume itself has attended the feast. The guests died one by one, spilling blood across Prospero's lavish room, the candles were extinguished, leaving only. "Darkness, Decadence and Red Death"
