Frankenstein Acquired!

[bunnyboo]

I've decided that my next book will be Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus! It was a book I was supposed to read in college and I, uh, didn't. I'm going in somewhat blind here - only knowing the basic story beats and having never watched a film adaptation other than bits and pieces of Young Frankenstein. My copy includes a foreward by Walter James Miller (which I'll be reading last) and an afterword by Harold Bloom... if that means anything to you.

In any case, I'm looking forward to it!

Mary Shelley really wrote the first Science Fiction book with Frankenstein. The story around its creation is just as interesting as the book.

I'll have to look into it more when I've finished. It sounds fascinating! :)
