I have started doing a little more reading again, and want to share a book that I am highly enjoying right now.
It is called “Classics of Horrorâ€.
It is the original writings of Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley,
The strange case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, by Robert Louis Stevenson,
and Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
I know at first you may think What the Heck, but these are written in the language of the 1800’s and is quite different then what you may think. I personally have never read these works and always took the story as it was told or perceived on TV.
The old English is polite and proper. It takes a little getting used to at first, but I really enjoyed Robert Louis Stevenson – Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, written in 1886.
The story of Dr. Jekyll is much different than the TV version and could even apply to modern times and the duality of man and the abuse of substance. The writings of the times often are social comments and can be read in contemporary settings.
I strongly suggest these as reading material.
Thanks for the ear,
Bubba
