Like several of Poe's stories, and in keeping with the 19th-century fascination with the subject, the narrative revolves around a person being buried alive - in this case, by immurement.

Book excerpt: The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe A disease known as the Red Death strikes the fictional country where this story takes place and causes its victims to die quickly and horribly. Despite the fact that this disease is rampant, the prince, Prospero, is feeling happy and hopeful. He decides to lock the doors of his palace to defend himself from the plague, ignoring the disease that ravages the land. After several months, he throws an elegant masked ball. For this celebration, decorate the rooms of your house in unique colors. The easternmost room is decorated in blue, with blue stained glass. The next room is purple with the same stained glass pattern. The rooms continue to the west, in accordance with this layout, in the following color arrangement: green, orange, white and purple. The seventh room is black, with red windows. Also in this room is an ebony clock. When the clock strikes every hour, its sound is so loud and annoying that everyone stops talking and the orchestra stops playing. However, when the clock does not strike, the rooms are so beautiful and strange that they seem to be filled with dreams, swirling among the revelers. Most guests, however, avoid the final room, black and red, because it contains both the clock and a sinister atmosphere. At midnight, a new guest appears, dressed more macabre than his counterparts. His mask resembles the face of a corpse, his clothing resembles a funerary shroud, and his face reveals bloodstains suggesting that he is a victim of the Red Death. Prospero is angry that someone with such little humor and lightness joined his group. The other guests, however, are so afraid of this masked man that they cannot prevent him from passing through every room. Prospero finally catches up with the new guest in the black and red room. As soon as he confronts the figure, Prospero dies. When other partygoers enter the room to attack the man in the cape, they discover that no one is under the costume. Then they all die, because the Red Death has infiltrated the castle. "Darkness and decay and the red death" have finally triumphed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Raven FULLY ILLUSTRATED Edgar Allan Poe Illustrated by Gustave Dore "The Raven" is a narrative poem by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. First published in January 1845, the poem is often noted for its musicality, stylized language, and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man's slow fall into madness. The lover, often identified as being a student, is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. Sitting on a bust of Pallas, the raven seems to further instigate his distress with its constant repetition of the word "Nevermore." The poem makes use of a number of folk, mythological, religious, and classical references. Poe claimed to have written the poem very logically and methodically, intending to create a poem that would appeal to both critical and popular tastes, as he explained in his 1846 follow-up essay, "The Philosophy of Composition." The poem was inspired in part by a talking raven in the novel Barnaby Rudge: A Tale of the Riots of 'Eighty by Charles Dickens. Poe borrows the complex rhythm and meter of Elizabeth Barrett's poem "Lady Geraldine's Courtship," and makes use of internal rhyme as well as alliteration throughout."

Blood was its Avatar and its seal-the redness and the horror of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men. And the whole seizure, progress and termination of the disease, were the incidents of half an hour.

Prospero dies after confronting this stranger, whose "costume" proves to contain nothing tangible inside it; the guests also die in turn. The Red Death masquerader passes within a few feet of the Prince and starts to walk through the rooms, heading toward the black room. Prospero loses it and runs after him in a rage, drawing his dagger as he approaches. But just as Prospero reaches the edge of the black room, the corpselike guest suddenly whirls around to face him, and Prospero falls to the ground, dead. The shocked crowd throws itself at the guest, only to discover in horror that there's nothing underneath the mask and costume. The Red Death itself has come to the party. One by one the guests die, spilling their blood all over Prospero's lavish rooms. The candles go out, leaving only "darkness, decay, and the Red Death."
