  1. Mistodon: here's Lobo/Spitoufs' #ANSIart cover page to #EdgarAllanPoe's #MasqueOfTheRedDeath, part of their #ANSIPOE collection illustrating Poe's complete works for BBS-based consumption. They were all included in the MIST1017 artpack collection released 8 years ago this month.

  2. pluralistic.net/2020/03/14/mas

    contains a link to a free audio version of Corey Doctorow's Masque of the Red Death. A story about #plutocrats holing up in a #bunker in the event of civilizational collapse.

    Spoiler alert:

    It does not end well for them, and that did not even require mobs with pitchforks.

  4. This evening's viewing distraction: the restored version of Corman's classic 60s Poe adaptation, The Masque of the Red Death, with the great Vincent Price, an oh-so-young Jane Asher, and an amazing visual style.

  6. CW: Long thread/7

    But billionaires don't just suck at running civilization, they also suck at making up stories about its collapse. One striking thing about @Rushkoff's ethnography of rich people preparing to outlive the end of the human race is how *banal* their eschatological fantasies are.

    It's not that there aren't any exciting stories to tell about billionaire survival fantasies. The granddaddy of these is, of course, Edgar Allan Poe's 1842 "#MasqueOfTheRedDeath":

  7. Finally got this wonderful gem from #RogerCorman 's 'Poe cycle' on Blu Ray. Gorgeously remastered version, one of my favourite Poe adaptations along the #FallOfTheHouseOfUsher. #MasqueOfTheRedDeath #Gothic #EdgarAllanPoe #Horror

  8. Over the years I have picked up different #books featuring #illustrations by different #artists for #EdgarAllanPoe stories: #ArthurRackham #Dulac #Satty #HarryClarke #Dore etc and just picked up a #SimonMarsden one (I have several of his #photography books but never illustrated a Poe picture myself until this year. Never felt worthy enough in that company but here is my #MasqueOfTheRedDeath illustration for #SpectralIllusions7TalesOfChromaticHorror book.

    I may do more sometime.
