Masque & Maelström Volume 2: The Overzealous Reinterment of Edgar Allan Poe

Inspired by the dark imagination of Edgar Allan Poe, this anthology gathers original tales of psychological horror, gothic dread, and supernatural unease from a range of contemporary writers.

Within these pages, readers will encounter haunted houses and cursed artifacts, unreliable narrators and unraveling minds, spectral visitations and inescapable guilt. Each story echoes Poe’s enduring themes—madness, mortality, obsession, and the fragile boundary between reason and terror—while offering fresh perspectives and modern voices.

From quiet, creeping dread to shocking revelations, this collection celebrates the power of atmospheric storytelling and emotional intensity. These are tales where memory betrays, conscience corrodes, and the past refuses to stay buried.
