Mary Shelley Makes a Monster follows the Monster we all know as it surpasses the life of his creator/mother and tries to find a replacement. All the Monster knows is what Shelley has put into it. So it knows writers. We follow the Monster as it meets authors like Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, Octavia Butler, and Murasaki Shikibu to name a few. The writing is smart, creative, and entertaining. A solid collection of work!
