\u201cThe Masque of the Red Death\u201d was first published in 1842. The story follows Prince Prospero's attempts to avoid a dangerous\xa0plague, known as the Red Death, by hiding in his\xa0abbey. He, along with many other wealthy\xa0nobles, hosts a\xa0masquerade ball\xa0in his abbey, and during the party a mysterious figure disguised as a victim of the Red Death enters. I\u2019ll leave it there as to not spoil the fun.
