![]() ![]() William Shakespeare lived over 450 years ago, but his name, plays and poetry are still known all over the world today. He truly changed the way we speak English! He also wrote poetry and invented new words like 'eyeball' and 'bedroom'. They were fun, scary, exciting and serious! Sad tragedies like Romeo and Juliet, funny comedies like A Midsummer Night's Dream and important histories about kings like Henry V. Shakespeare wrote many different types of plays. Soon Shakespeare was rich enough to help build a new theatre, called ‘The Globe’. He also wrote plays which everyone, rich and poor, even royalty, paid to watch. ![]() Shakespeare moved to London, and became a rather famous actor there. He went to school there and learned Latin and Greek. Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. Not for acting but because he was, and still is, one of the best known writers in the English language. One of these actors was William Shakespeare. They were as popular then as TV shows are now and some of the actors became just as famous. But 450 years ago, people could only watch stories acted in front of them on the streets or in theatres. Today we watch stories through TV, computers or on phones. ![]()

![]() Like other artistic treatments of mental illness-or insanity, to use the parlance common in its day-though, The Snake Pit’s popularity certainly derived from its luridly sensationalist elements, and its happy ending.

The mass of howling, shoving, clawing beasts parted as I silently made my way through the valley toward the jagged slash of shimmering air. Which meant I wasn’t overly happy with all these fucking things using my tear to clamber their way through now. I’d been using this tear between our worlds-this largely secret, unknown rip in our world fabric-for almost longer than I could remember. I’d been visiting this other world for eons, destroying the parasites that slipped through and infected humanity. Of course, I had been going through for millennia. The creatures that shoved and bit and clawed their way were frantic in their desperation to get through, to flood into a new place where the scent of hot blood was thick and a glut of living things waited. The teeming mass in front of me writhed like a beast with a thousand legs. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Book 8.5: Unlocked was published on November 17, 2020.
