Horror. Romance. Science. A classic tale that would be a fright to miss!
The idea for the story came to the author, Mary Shelley, in a dream she had about a scientist who had created life and was horrified by what he had made. This Gothic-style romance is among the first of true science fiction novels, if not the first. A young scientist named Victor Frankenstein, after going through his own near-death experience, decides to play God and create life in the form of a grotesque creature, which turns into a nightmare. Through his experience, he learns that the gift of life is precious, not disposable. His journey and personal transformation has deeply affected readers.
* This beautiful book comes with luxurious endpapers, a beautiful and stylish heat-burnished cover, and is a convenient 5 x 7 trim size for easy handling.
* This widely popular classic tells a tale of devastating consequences for those pursuing power and glory.
Frankenstein is a must-read for any lover of classic literature and science fiction.

Welcome to Monday Reads! Where I just spend a few minutes sharing with you my current read and a snippet or two from my current chapter. Please let me know what you’re reading right now, too!
This is a reread for me. I haven’t read this one since I was in Jr. High. I’m really enjoying reading this an an adult.
How slowly the time passes here, encompassed as I am by frost and snow! Yet a second step is taken towards my enterprise. I have hired a vessel and am occupied in collecting my sailors; those whom I have already engaged appear to be men to whom I can depend and are certainly possessed of dauntless courage.

About Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
I tried reading this book but it ended up as a DNF for me. But I’m thinking about trying to read it again as an audiobook at some point.
