The full readings are included for those students who may be interested in reading the full original stories.*

*Varney the Vampire is not included in its full text because it is too large. For students who may be interested, it can be found for free in many places on the internet. Also, Bram Stoker's Dracula is not included. Although it is discussed, none of Stoker's writing is included in the reading portion of the lesson.
