berlin is a rented room in lung-dark house of evil oldness. the homeowner roams sidereal fields at whims that feel like peace until the house-bound god tracks back His wastrel coldness, fetches war back in to shake us, paint warm life in thuds and yowling slashes: baked-in stains on running walls He cleans with ashes

This is a wonderful little site: Today in Literature is a daily calendar of engaging stories about literary history.

Today they got a special on D. H. Lawrence:

"September 11, 1885

On this day in 1885 D. H. Lawrence was born in Eastwood, outside Nottingham, the fourth of five children. Lawrence's autobiographical novel, Sons and Lovers (1913) made famous the tortured conditions of his upbringing: his uneducated father's pit-and-pub life, his mother's contempt for this and her self-sacrifice to escape, Lawrence's own conflicted feelings about all of it."

I just read it again. Loved it as a kid. If you never read it, you gotta give it a try!

Wikipedia : "Dracula is an acclaimed 1897 novel by Irish author Bram Stoker, featuring as its primary antagonist the vampire Count Dracula.

Dracula has been attributed to many literary genres including horror fiction, the gothic novel and invasion literature. Structurally it is an epistolary novel, that is, told as a series of diary entries and letters. Literary critics have examined many themes in the novel, such as the role of women in Victorian culture, conventional and repressed sexuality, immigration, colonialism, postcolonialism and folklore. Although Stoker did not invent the vampire, the novel's influence on the popularity of vampires has been singularly responsible for many theatrical and film interpretations throughout the 20th and 21st centuries."
