so-soThe narrative structure detracted from the information presented. The story line jumped from place to place and to varying groups of people in a very helter skelter way. The actual information about the volcanic eruption was magnificent.
panPoor me for persevering with this tripe. Started ok then became a weird male fantasy about a Frankenstein-type woman with the brain of a child. So, the sexual encounters are quite disturbing. They‘re dressed up as male created “monster”(woman) having agency and manipulating the dumb, stuffy Victorian men, but I‘m not fooled by the paedophilic undertones. Also, read a Flashman for proper, interesting use of historical footnotes to situate fiction
Did anyone else watch the #frankenstein movie that came out yesterday? I‘m SO intrigued by other peoples‘ thoughts. I have one major gripe with it- Victor‘s parental background. Much of the tragedy in the book centers around how Victor came from an extremely loving family but didn‘t carry those values to his treatment of his own “child”. The movie shows such a different background for Victor that seems to give a more generational trauma message.
Reread of Mary Shelley's classic before Guillermo del Toro's film adaptation drops tom🎧📖

pickThis was a perfect gothic story for the October season. It weaves together elements of Jack the Ripper, Mary Reilly (movie), Jane Eyre, and Frankenstein. It was such a good story; I flew through the whole book in one day. I wished it was longer.

pickThis was an insightful look into the creation of Frankenstein!
I read Frankenstein earlier this year and loved it, so naturally I had to read this book. I was impressed that Mary Shelley wrote a masterpiece at age 19.
The best part of the book was the depiction of female rage. Mary‘s rage starts off quietly and then slowly simmers into an inferno.

I‘m a vampire girl, what can I say? 3/5 of these are about vamps. I‘m currently reading another book, Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil with @MsRadioSilence and I would also add it to this list if I were done with it! So, dear reader, we close the onslaught of recs with monsters and mayhem. All horror, of course. #hauntedshelf #blackcatcrew #linehanloves

Scavenger hunt: “monster.“
Book reccomendation: “Unhinged.“ But also a rather lovely story!
