The books, written in the first person, freely adopt Poe's literary style--sometimes to comedic effect. Schechter does poke affectionate fun at Poe now and again, but not at the cost of dehumanizing the character. His Poe feels like a warm ...             Undying Faces: A Collection of Death Masks Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 2003 1929. This book is a translation from the German edition of Das Ewige Antlitz. Death masks command our utmost reverence, for the face is symbolic and perpetuates the final impression of a human spirit whom we once knew, or who had made his mark on all men's minds.

There is no ...             Death Mask1 review E. Petters Penguin Books, 1992 So So This book was that bad but hey it could be better.I never thought that the story line could be so cunfusing!

I will say this however, Butcher keeps you occupied and reading. I am not much of a book reader, but I listened to the 10th book in the series, and then came back through the series reading. It took me about a week a book here in Afghanistan, considering work load and my inability to read fast this is pretty amazing. Things don't usually keep ...             The Mask of Red Death: An Edgar Allan Poe Mystery Harold Schechter Ballantine Books, 2005 Suspense, intrigue, atmosphere, and vivid historical detail combine into a thrilling ride through nineteenth-century New York City in The Mask of Red Death .
