  • There are retellings of classic stories that have become public domain and some are reimagined in the modern world. IIRC things become public domain 100 years after being published.

    Although I recently got into reading some classics and read the original Dracula, not at all what I expected but I’m glad I read it. I also thoroughly enjoyed Shirley Jackson’s Haunting of Hill House. If a story really interests you I recommend checking it out at the library and giving it a shot - some writing styles can be hard at first but you get used to them after a few chapters. You might be surprised how different some details are from everything you’ve heard!
