Frankenstein
Frankenstein | Mary Shelly
Victor Frankenstein has an aptitude for science and whilst at university he discovers a secret that allows him to impart life to non-living matter, and so his creation is born. The creature is not quite what Victor expected and so he flees in fear. Desperately alone the creature begs for a mate so as to have someone who wont fear him. Victor reluctantly agrees but, fearing the creature to be evil, he changes his mind after imaging them to breed and create a danger to mankind. The creature decides he must have revenge and Frankenstein is plunged into his very worst nightmare.

#FogCover
@Eggs
@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

The famous book with the famous cover of a famous painting: THE WANDERER ABOVE THE SEA OF FOG by Casper David Friedrich (1818).

Deifio But why this painting? 2mo
Faranae @Deifio Both Frankenstein and the creature wander throughout the book. Honestly I think it's just the most iconic Romantic painting for one of the most iconic Romantic Gothic novels.

There's certain paintings that always seem to be used for certain types of books. For example, John Pettie's “Two Strings to Her Bow“ being used for Regency romances novels. William Blake's own portrait of Newton is often used on books about... Blake.

Frankenstein tells the story of gifted scientist Victor Frankenstein who succeeds in giving life to a being of his own creation. However, this is not the perfect specimen he imagines that it will be, but rather a hideous creature who is rejected by Victor and mankind in general.

Was Frankenstein the first Emo? Or Walton? The monster? Sappy and melodramatic, Shelley‘s story may have been unsettling and a one-of-kind 200 years ago. But for readers today, I found it to be a depressing bore. Leave this one off your Spooky Season reading lists.

It‘s no secret that Frankenstein is more of a study on the horrors of humanity than anything else, but I still wish it had focused more on the creation of the monster. The tension just wasn‘t there. Essentially, he said I built a monster. Then the next sentence was I lost the monster. I just didn‘t feel connected to the plot. It did like the monsters monologue but at that point I had already checked out and lost interest.

I spent the morning working in the yard, watching the eclipse, and listening to the tagged book. Photo by one of my son‘s friends. Try as I might I couldn‘t get a good photo. I loved getting to spend the beautiful morning watching it!!

Who else got to watch the eclipse? what did you think of it?

And I got a LOT of yard work done and more than half the book finished. I‘m now in the monster‘s woeful tale. 😢

The consequences that arise when an undergrad science student decides to experiment with resurrection, & flees from the creation of a strange new being.

One of my favorite Halloween reads, the birth of sci fi, & a fantastic dramatic performance of Dan Stevens all wrapped in one. Slow paced, very descriptive, & of it‘s time. But also an examination of humanity & monstrousness, & the responsibility of experimentation. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

I am posing, but this is an accurate representation of what I look like in the morning while I listen to audiobooks and enjoy my coffee and the sun coming up. This has been a year of reading books on audio that I have read many times in print. Audio has consistently made the reading experience better.
