🎭💀 What happens at the masquerade… doesn’t always stay there. Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s chilling tale The Masque of the Red Death, this gothic tee captures the haunting irony of Prince Prospero’s ill-fated ball. Featuring a vintage-style masquerade mask, skeletal hand clutching a goblet, and the shadow of the Red Death itself, the design is paired with the darkly humorous line:
“I went to Prince Prospero’s Ball… and all I got was the plague.”
Perfect for literature lovers, dark academia fans, and anyone with a taste for macabre humor, this shirt combines eerie elegance with Poe-inspired wit. Made from soft, breathable fabric, it’s comfortable enough for everyday wear—or your next midnight masquerade. 🕯️✨
