The first two are books of poetry romanticizing the simplicity of nature over the rushed boom of the Industrial Revolution, and the later, a horror story about an articulate, yellow skinned monster that inspired a whole subgenre of fiction and films.

This exceedingly metaphorical sentence, the reader is forced to substitute their own…

The 1920’s was a momentous decade in American history. World War I had just ended, so the economy was experiencing a surge unlike ever before. Soon afterwards, prohibition was ratified, which resulted in a gigantic influx of alcohol being illegally produced and sold. Additionally, this was a revolutionary period for women as well.
