About me:
My name is Kelsey and I am a 30 year old college English teacher and tutor. My favorite novel is Shelley’s Frankenstein and my favorite short story is Gilman’s “The Yellow Wall-paper”. I'm not sure what my favorite poem is, but one of my favorite poets is Gwendolyn Brooks. My interests mainly lie in the genres of horror, science fiction, and mystery. I like to study the Victorian era, mythology and folklore, gothic writing, and so much more. I love video games, weight lifting, TV, movies, and memes.
