We had such fun at the first Haunted Book Club. Who knew that such a classic tail could throw up so much new thinking? That is of the value of a good conversation with good people and we hope we can keep that rolling with this dark red classic…The Masque of the Red DeathBy Edgar Allan PoeYou can close your eyes and hopefully enjoy this reading by Gav.
