A note about this project.
This classic story has lingered in my imagination for at least two decades. The allegory of inevitability, beauty, and opulence has always fascinated me. With this digital adaptation, I hope to encourage others to experience it in the same way.

The audio version featured here is from the outstanding team at Tales From Beyond the Pale; a podcast that blends the theatrical with the macabre. Their reading of The Masque of the Red Death brings new texture and intensity to Poe’s words. Please explore their other episodes. Each one is a beautifully dark production worth your time.
