" Rereadad the story online since I'm reading Masque of the Red Death soon, and I'm so glad I did. Wow, what an extravagant, fantastical setting! This is one of those stories where you have to read it several times to look past the plot to delve into the symbolism; it's a masterpiece of a short story, and one I know I will be reading again. "
