Poe:Die Maske des Roten Todes

Uncanny beautiful stories. A deadly plague is spreading. Prince Prospero has retreated to an abbey he designed himself in a Gothic style, where he celebrates a lavish, ghostly masquerade ball with his guests. He believes himself to be safe. The American author Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849), master of horror and suspense, tells in his stories of psychological abysses and nightmarish events. In addition to "The Masque of the Red Death," this volume includes "The Facts in the Case of Waldemar" as well as the detective story "The Purloined Letter," which Poe himself considered his best.
