Description
When plague ravages the kingdom, a prince seals his court behind impenetrable walls, believing luxury and isolation can ward off death itself—until a masked figure arrives to prove that some terrors cannot be locked away. Poe distills pure dread into a novella that uses a single, relentless symbol to explore how we construct dangerous illusions of safety.
