In this video, Doomcock offers a few words to honor Edgar Allan Poe on his birthday, and then reads "The Masque of the Red Death" as a tribute to one of the greatest writers that ever lived. Doomcock apologizes for getting uncharacteristically emotional here. I considered editing that out, but decided against it, concluding that sincerity might be the best tribute I could offer the man. I also apologize to any subscribers who are disinterested in this...it is not in keeping with my usual mission of pop culture review/world domination, but Poe has always been special to Doomcock, and so forgive my self-indulgence here. (Note: After posting this, I noticed that although I had correctly spelled his first name throughout, I had misspelled it in the title card of the video. At first I was horrified at the typo and thought about yanking the video and redoing it, but upon reflection, I think that acknowledging my own imperfection here is also fitting in paying tribute to his genius, which I acknowledge surpasses even my own...and so, in humility, I leave this as it is, imperfections and all...)
