Red Death

For today's countdown to Halloween post (my second one in fact), a little bit about one of my favourite towns, Wallingford. They seem to celebrate Halloween more there than anywhere else I have been in England. We went there recently nd we saw lots of decorations. Including this deliciously spooky Grim Reaper, which of course reminded me of The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe. I read it for the first time last year. I haven't read enough Poe, I don't know why. Be that as it may, you can find the short story here. It should give you a few chills, especially in a year of pandemic. On a side note, I want to find and buy this Red Death for next year's Halloween.
