Classic Tales of Terror – Episode 5: The Masque of the Red Death

Shadowvane-New-01Our apologies for the lateness of this!  We hope you enjoy it!

Ways to Listen:

While our amazing voice actors work their magic on the 11th episode of Progenix Labs, enjoy a much more well known classic tale by the master of horror, Edgar Allan Poe.  In his story “The Masque of the Red Death,” a prince ignores a terrifying plague that is killing most of his town’s population.  Instead, he gathers a group of his wealthy friends to wait out the disease.  If you know anything about Poe’s work, I imagine you can guess how that might work out for him.

We will release new episodes twice a month on the 1st and 15th. Episode 10 of Progenix Labs will release on May 15th.
