Read Dunwich Horror and The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. Awesome stories.

Then for the love of God don't read Macbeth and Hamlet. Between the two of those, Shakespeare pretty much had the whole mass murder/suicide thing down.

Meh, I didn't think that Romeo & Juliet had a lot of the whole "mass suicide" thing down. Lots of killing and death though.

Well, looking at Shakespeare in general, we've got Romeo, Juliet, Lady Macbeth, Ophelia...and those are just the suicides from the ones I've read. And Hamlet would have offed himself if he wasn't afraid that the afterlife would be even worse. No real mass suicides if your're excluding R&J, but there wasn't at VA Tech either, so I'm not sure where you're getting that from.
Suicidal characters in Lovecraft's work, of course, are too numerous to count. |

On a related note:

There was a guy in an algebra 2 class of mine back in high school that was trying to make a Counterstrike map of Vaca High. He eventually gave up because he couldn't get the scripting on the doors right. He wasn't dangerous or unbalanced or anything--he just liked making Counterstrike maps.
Also, I personally own a set of replica swords. |

Counterstrike map of Vaca High? That would have been awesome, he should have found help for it.
I go to Vaca High XD

Don't we all?
(Coincidentally, that's a stress relief method I picked up in ol' VHS. Physical Science teacher used it on a student that burned a hole in his desk with molten copper and dented his truck with a water rocket. Ahhh, memories.).
