]This is a list of some of the many works that are in the public domain. Meaning that you can download them for free on many websites like Project Guttenberg or Internet Archive. It also means that YOU-yes you, as a writer can pull characters and plot lines from these older works and use them in your own new creative works. Make something that was purely dramatic and turn it into Sci Fi or Fantasy or Horror.It also means you can take a whole book and change it around to your liking. For example Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

This list does not everything that is out there in the public domain. I put some of what I found to be the more notable examples of Public Domain books. You will find books your familiar with and some that your not familiar with. You will find examples of derivative works for some books as well as examples of some movie adaptations. There is definitely more examples of books and other works I could have included. I could have included more links to the authors and or source material. And I may do so in the future. This is a work in progress. But I can’t work on it forever. But I present to you what I have done. May you use it as a reference guide for your amusement and pleasure and possible future writing projects.

Edgar Allen Poe wrote this hymn about The Blessed Mother Mary..

At morn – at noon – at twilight dim –
Maria! thou hast heard my hymn!
In joy and woe – in good and ill –
Mother of God, be with me still!
When the Hours flew brightly by,
And not a cloud obscured the sky,
My soul, lest it should truant be,
Thy grace did guide to thine and thee
Now, when storms of Fate o’ercast
Darkly my Present and my Past,
Let my future radiant shine
With sweet hopes of thee and thine.
