Hey all, here's those books and an article title related to what we talked about yesterday.
While I was searching for sources I also found a lot of articles about the architecture/colors of the rooms in the Masque of the Red Death, if that's more up your alley. Just do a general search for Poe and Masque (or Mask, as it sometimes is written), and you're sure to find some stuff.
Book for general public:
Alcabes, Philip. DREAD: How Fear And Fantasy Have Fueled Epidemics from the Black Plaque to Avian Flu.
Academic book:
Christensen, Allan Conrad. Nineteenth-century narratives of contagion : 'our feverish contact'
Article on Poe:
Fisher, Benjamin F. That 'Daughter of Old Time': Science in the Writings of Edgar Allan Poe
