How many pages are in the Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe?

Answer 1

Answer 2

It is impossible to say there are so many pages in any short story. The number of pages depends on the size of the page, the font and the line spacing. Some versions are in large print; others are in small print. Some versions are in hard cover; others in paperback.

I have two versions of this story. One is in a book titled "Poe's Tales of Mystery and Terror", (copyright 1967) published in paperback in large type for easy reading by Lancer Books, Inc., 1560 Broadway, New York. This story takes up 10 and 1/2 pages.

My other version is in a book titled "Complete Stories and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe", (copyright 1966) published in hardcover by Doubleday & Company, Garden City, New York. The story in this book takes up 4 and 1/2 pages.

In addition, since this is a short story in a compilation of other Poe works, there is no separate title page as there would be for a stand alone novel. The title of the story simply appears on the same page the story begins.

Answer 3

"The Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar Allan Poe is a short story and typically ranges from 3 to 5 pages, depending on the edition and formatting. It is considered one of Poe's most famous and widely read works.

Answer 4

10 pages including the title page.
