RE: What is Public Domain Entertainment – A Formal Introduction from a Longtime Steemian
There's some phenomenal (and phenomenally interesting) public domain literature out there to explore.
Charles Brockden Brown wrote several novels which are now regarded as the earliest Gothic fiction published. "Wieland" is quite fun: a Hitchcockian story of paranoia, murder, spontaneous human combustion, and mistaken identity with a strong female protagonist. It was published in 1798, so it's long been in the public domain.
Another great public domain work in the fantasy/horror genre is William Hope Hodgson's "The House on the Borderland", which I reviewed last year on Steemit. If you like "The Blair Witch Project" as a movie, and/or "House of Leaves" by Mark Z. Danielewski, "House on the Borderland" should be right up your alley. :)
Very true. There is a lot of public domain stuff. A lot of it will probably surprise our friends here on Steemit and those finding out via search engines. It is almost too much to wade through.
