Hello! Welcome to the Young Reader's Review! I’m very sorry for not being active, I was on vacation and now I am very busy with schoolwork.   But here I am now with a brand new review! This review is a bit different than the others, because it’s on a story that is no more than 5 pages. It is written by one of the greatest American authors and is called: The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe. I am not only writing this today because I found this story particularly interesting, but also because I have realized that handfuls of teenagers would not know who I am talking about when I say the name “Edgar Allan Poe”. It’s a bit…sad. It’s sad to think that our generation isn’t exposed to this literature. Classics are what inspired the books we have today. Anyways, if you are a teenager, read the classics!
