Featuring Poe's chilling prose beneath a shadowed abbey lit with spectral hues and crowned by a crimson skull
This haunting cross stitch pattern brings Edgar Allan Poe's tale of decadence and doom to life. A shadowy abbey silhouette looms above a carefully selected excerpt from The Masque of the Red Death, its windows glowing in seven spectral colors—each representing the eerie chambers of Prince Prospero's masquerade. The main entryway, flanked by ominous arches, bears a red skull motif, while a full moon backlights the entire structure, casting long, stitched shadows across the fabric.
