add Bram Stoker, Edgar Alan Poe, Washington Irving, and Mary Shelly to that list.
Let the teens see the origins of the modern vampire and monster mythos.

Jane:
What bothers me in talking to so many teenagers is that they know little of the classics. Playwrights like Williams, O'Neill, Inge, Miller are largely ignored. How many know Sandburg, Hughes, Brooks, Frost, Millay -- or Dickenson.
Rather than spending so much time giving them this pop-genre I feel we should be uplifting them, raising them to great words, great poetry. They get enough of this on their own without our TEACHING it.
