I have read the book of tales by Edgar Allan Poe.
I like a lot this book because Edgar Allan Poe is a very good writer and his form of writing is very good.
The tales that I reed were:
The Black Cat, William Willson,
The Masque of the Red Death,
The Fall of the House of Usher and
The Tell-Tale Heart.
The tale that I most like was The Masque of the Red Death.
Is a story about one illnes that atack the city of Próspero, a prince of a imaginarian nation. And Próspero puts into his castle a lot of people to can suvrive to the atack of the Red Death. The persons who live on the castle is alive.
On the castle there are 7 rooms one of each color, and the last one is black with a clock who marks the hours. The sound that makes the clock is very scary.
One nigth, a lot of days before the starting of the Red Death, Próspero makes a masques dance, where everyone was dressed with terror clothes. In the party Próspero sees a man dreesed of Red Death, Próspero follow him in the castle to the black room. There Próspero atacks the masked person but when Próspero touch him dies, he is the encarnation of Red Death, who kills all the persons of the castle in the time that the clock sounds 12 times.
I like the tale and I want to read it in spanish because I don't understand very good english and I'm concentrated on the story and is more dificult to be scared.
