(Homepage) The Masque of the Red Death, by Edgar Allan Poe; The Masque of the Red Death Page 1. It was towards the close of the fifth or sixth month of his seclusion, and while the pestilence raged most furiously abroad, that the Prince Prospero entertained his thousand friends at a masked ball of the most unusual magnificence. It was a voluptuous scene, that masquerade. But first let me tell of the rooms in which it was held. These were seven--an imperial suite. In many palaces, however, such suites form a long and straight vista, while the folding doors slide back nearly to the walls on either hand, so that the view of the whole extent is scarcely impeded.
Here the case was very different, as might have been expected from the duke's love of the bizarre. The Fall of the House of Usher, by Edgar Allan Poe; The Fall of the House of Usher Page 1. During the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of country; and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher.

Best Gothic Books Of All Time (190 books) Victorian Gothic fin de siecle literature homepage. A short introduction The Gothic genre gained prominence in Britain in the late 18th century. Fog, smoke, decrepit mansions, insanity (usually afflicting a young heroine), sexuality, incest, and mystery are just some of the general characteristics of the Gothic literary tradition. The Gothic genre, which is still prevalent today, has undergone major shifts throughout its existence. In "British Gothic fiction, 1885-1930," Kelly Hurley draws on science fiction theorist Annette Kuhn when she writes, "The Gothic is rightly, if partially, understood as a cyclical drama that reemerges in times of cultural stress in order to negotiate anxieties for its readership by working through them in displaced (sometimes supernaturalized) form.
