Wikipedia, April 12, 2019 ("The Masque of the Red Death", originally published as "The Mask of the Red Death: A Fantasy", is an 1842 short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe; Poe's story follows many traditions of Gothic fiction and is often analyzed as an allegory about the inevitability of death, though some critics advise against an allegorical reading; first published in May 1842 in Graham's Magazine and has since been adapted in many different forms, including a 1964 film starring Vincent Price; a revised version was published in the July 19, 1845 edition of the Broadway Journal under the now-standard title "The Masque of the Red Death")
