The Masque of The Red Death read by Sir Christopher Lee

To honor Edgar Allan Poe's 212th birthday, here is an audio-video of Horror Icon, Sir Christopher Lee narrating one of Poe's famous short stories, The Masque of the Red Death. Poe’s 1842 macabre short story about a deadly disease called the Red Death has become more relevant in the past year and this is truly eery. To help illustrate the story, legendary actor Christopher Lee provided his enticing vocal capabilities to add the ever-mounting tension of mortals foolishly disrespecting the angel of death.

The background music is Devil's Trill Sonata by Giuseppe Tartini (1692–1770).
