"Great choice of stories here, but some I've read before (like "The Horla", for instance and "Ligeia" for another) but other than that some true gems. Browse through a copy if you can :)"

" Eh. Some really badly written short stories featuring vampires, with maybe three pretty good ones and two excellent one--Duty by Ed Gorman and Midnight Mass by F. Paul Wilson. Most of the stories felt like they were phoned in. Time to give vampires a rest, hmm? "

William Shakespeare (1564–1616), English poet and dramatist of the Elizabethan and early Jacobean period, is the most widely known author in all of English literature and often considered the greatest. He was an active member of a theater company for at least twenty years, during which time he wrote many great plays. Plays were not prized as literature at the time and Shakespeare was not widely read until the middle of the eighteenth century, when a great upsurge of interest in his works began that continues today.
