What Members Thought
”Nothing is more painful to the human mind than, after the feelings have been worked up by a quick succession of events, the dead calmness of inaction and certainty which follows and deprives the souls of both hope and fear. ”
Synopsis: ’Write the scariest story possible,’ they said. ‘I triple dog dare you.’
‘Oh, I’ll do more than that,’ Mary Shelley said. ‘I’ll create an entire fucking new genre instead.’ SMASH THAT PATRIARCHY.
Pros
The Writing- The writing is what totally made this book ...more

Loved it! If there had never been a Frankenstein movie and I had no expectations going in, this would have been a terrifying read. I really appreciated the fact that Shelley never mentions the process of reanimating the dead monster - to me, this left much more to the imagination. Reading Frankenstein reminded me of the true essence of horror, the point where despair turns to desperation.
