Summary
Struggling to fall asleep? Drift off to two chilling tales by Edgar Allan Poe - The Cask of Amontillado and the Masque of the Red Death. Published in 1846 and 1842 respectively, these stories show the master of horror at his finest. In the Cask of Amontillado, a man takes revenge on his "friend" in the catacombs. In the Masque of the Red Death, Prince Prospero and his rich friends try to avoid a plague and revel while the world outside falls into ruin.
