Mary Shelley
— the true inventor of Frankenstein's monster
Only eighteen when she dreamed up the story that would define her for generations to come. Discover the restless imagination of the woman who suffered heartbreak and weaved it into words to perfectly capture the sublime, the monstrous, and the tender heart of the Gothic imagination. Letters from the young woman who invented the modern monster — and who understood creation, loss, and longing better than anyone of her age.
