520			_aMurder mask by Edgar Daniel Kramer is a short piece of weird/crime fiction written in the late 1930s. Centered on a cursed medieval-style silk mask, it explores how jealousy, inheritance, and a high-society masquerade collide when the wearer is fated to kill the one they love before dawn. Antonio Colletti, embittered after Nita Tosca marries his cousin Tomaso Romani, returns with the ominous mask and a warning verse, secretly prepared to use poison if needed. At their all-night masque, Romani dons the mask and grows violently jealous, dragging Nita into an alcove where, in a frenzy, he stabs her. Horrified, he forces Colletti to put on the mask; compelled to slay whom he loves best—himself—Colletti drinks his own poison and dies. Romani then kills himself beside Nita as the revelry ends and morning breaks. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
