How it all started

It is important to note that these stories were written in the 1800's. With that said, some of the language is "clunky" and some of the background info might seem simple and out of date. But the scope of imagination that these writers had over 200 years ago is impressive and fascinating. While we might be used to snappy, fast-moving stories these authors knew how to pace a story and esp. how to develop a character - something that modern writers might skimp on. If you love horror and the Supernatural, you might like to see how it all started.
