We adore Wattpad which is why we chose to write about this amazing platform. It has so many secret treasures and like pebbles in shells they await to be discovered.
Did you know that Wattpad has full amazing classic books that you can browse and read entirely for free? If your teacher ever assigns you to read a classic you have the alternative to verify if it's available on Wattpad right from your computer or mobile phone.
Likewise, if you're just a classics lover you can have access to hundreds of titles.
We found that there is a Gutenberg user who has posted hundreds of classics and has over 10k followers, but Gutenburg is not actually a person.
The Project Gutenberg is the first and largest single collection of free electronic books, or eBooks. As one of Wattpad's first partnerships, the organization voluntarily digitizes and archives cultural works, most of them classics and they distribute of over 40,000 free eBooks. It is the world's oldest digital library, and most of the books are in the public domain, available for free to everyone around the globe! It's founder is Michael Hart.
The Gutenburg Project has been collaborating with Wattpad since January 7th, 2007. They have an official website page if you're interested in learning more about this beautiful project and read about their articles, essays and newsletters you can visit their official website at: www.gutenburg.org
So if you adore the classics, need to read one for a class or you're just curious feel free to follow The Project Gutenburg here: https://www.wattpad.com/user/Gutenberg
However, we have discovered that there are also other users who have posted incredible classics and for this Halloween's Feature we have chosen these three spooky tales:
Dracula by Bram Stoker
Blurb:
3 May. Bistritz.--Left Munich at 8:35 P.M., on 1st May, arriving at Vienna early next morning; should have arrived at 6:46, but train was an hour late. Buda-Pesth seems a wonderful place, from the glimpse which I got of it from the train and the little I could walk through the streets. I feared to go very far from the station, as we had arrived late and would start as near the correct time as possible.
The impression I had was that we were leaving the West and entering the East; the most western of splendid bridges over the Danube, which is here of noble width and depth, took us among the traditions of Turkish rule.
We left in pretty good time, and came after nightfall to Klausenburgh. Here I stopped for the night at the Hotel Royale. I had for dinner, or rather supper, a chicken done up some way with red pepper, which was very good but thirsty. (Mem. get recipe for Mina.) I asked the waiter, and he said it ...

Blurb: Whatever hour you woke there was a door shutting. From room to room they went, hand in hand, lifting here, opening there, making sure--a ghostly couple.
"Here we left it," she said. And he added, "Oh, but here tool" "It's upstairs," she murmured. "And in the garden," he whispered. "Quietly," they said, "or we shall wake them."
But it wasn't that you woke us. Oh, no. "They're looking for it; they're drawing the curtain," one might say, and so read on a page or two. "Now they've found it,' one would be certain, stopping the pencil on the margin. And then, tired of reading, one might rise and see for oneself, the house all empty, the doors standing open, only the wood pigeons bubbling with content and the hum of the threshing machine sounding from the farm. "What did I come in here for? What did I want to find?" My hands were empty. "Perhaps its upstairs then?" The apples were in the loft. And so down again, the garden still as ever, only the book had slipped into the grass.
This book however was created by a user called gardeniarosea.

Blurb: "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus" is about an eccentric scientist Victor Frankenstein, who creates a grotesque creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment.
This one was sent by a user who calls herself like the author: MaryShelley, of course the intention is to give the real author the credit. Thank you so much MaryShelley for sharing this amazing book on Wattpad.

This article was made with the information taken from the Gutenberg Project Wattpad Profile Page, from their official Website page and the stories were taken from user profiles for the sole purpose of promoting the efforts of the Gutenburg Project and for promoting classic books that we believe might enhance reader experience.
