All of the stories are surrealistically rendered with claymation figures and haunting music. Burrough's reading of <i>The Masque of the Red Death</i> is not to be missed.<p></p><p>Outside of Poe's literature, the game tells the tale of a nameless protagonist who is visiting his uncle Edwin (Played by William S.
