Figura Obscura Actionfigur The Masque of the Red Death Black Robes Edition

Death comes to all. Riches, power, and noble birth mean little to the cold embrace of the grave. In death, all are equal, and none can escape its touch. First published in 1842, Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death" is a gothic novel that tells the story of a terrible plague and the failed attempt of a group of wealthy nobles to escape this terrible disease. Of course, trying to hide from death is impossible and the end is never in question, because as the last line of the short story states: And darkness and decay and the red death had unlimited dominion over all.
