Othello (The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice) is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1603. It is based on the story Un Capitano Moro ("A Moorish Captain") by Cinthio, a disciple of Boccaccio, first published in 1565. The story revolves around its two central characters: Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army and his unfaithful ensign, Iago. Given its varied and enduring themes of racism, love, jealousy, betrayal, revenge and repentance, Othello is still often performed in professional and community theatre alike, and has been the source for numerous operatic, film, and literary adaptations.

"The Raven" tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man's slow fall into madness. The lover, often identified as being a student, is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. Sitting on a bust of Pallas, the raven seems to further instigate his distress with its constant repetition of the word "Nevermore". Cover by @Lujayna

HORROR / SHORT STORIES - (Currently Undergoing Heavy Revisions) The following stories will feature 101 psychopathic individuals as they leave their gory mark on the world around them. In these stories, the villain always wins. There are no happy endings here. Everyone dies. These stories are purely HORROR, and reflect what I feel a horror story should be. WARNING! The following stories may be to intense for some readers. The crimes and murders depicted here are extremely graphic. There is massive amounts of VIOLENCE and GORE. These writings are not intended for the faint of heart or those with a weak stomach. I will probably cross the line more than once. Mature audiences only please. These stories are RATED PG-13 but the scenes within should not be taken lightly. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! Mixture of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd drafts. WORK IN PROGRESS.
