Welcome to Litsy!

Finally getting around to this classic, free to read on Amazon Prime Reading.

Europe was one part of the world #frozen due to the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora and the debris it sent into the atmosphere. One famous story, Mary Shelley‘s Frankenstein was being written during 1816 the year without a summer.

Mary Shelley‘s book asks the question “what makes us human?” Frankenstein‘s creation is called a monster, and yet is capable of speech, thought, emotion #HumanNature #Movember @Cinfhen

The idea of creating a monster probably counts as #WeirdScience #NamasteNovember @Eggs

2/5 ⭐️s I probably would have given up on this book if it wasn't for my local book club. So many parts dragged on when it could have been so much shorter. Very different from the stories and movies you get about Frankenstein though.

1- Mary Shelley and Patrick Ness.
2- is be too nervous to ask questions so I‘d just want to listen to them talk and be themselves. All casual and relax. While I imagine this we are having drinks in Al‘s Den in PDX. 😂
3- too many to count. 😝
4- anyone who hasn‘t done this already.

A very hard day ended with a bedtime read makes it much better 🥰🤓 am I the only one that gets major Hygge on nights like this?

A picture of Mary Shelley's husband who himself was a published poet.

A wonderful written dark and poignant book about creation, humanity and life. ⭐⭐⭐ ⭐

Beware, for I am fearless and therefore powerful.

I attended Alberta Ballet‘s thrilling adaptation of this tale last night. It was outstanding. They transposed the setting to North America and used Trump‘s home in Florida, Mar-a-Lago, as the place where Victor grew up. #modernrelevance

I‘m glad I finally got to read this wonderful story. I‘m shocked at how poorly it‘s been adapted in the movies. Frankenstein “monster” is a creature of depth and feelings wanting only to experience what so many take for granted. The connection of family and friends and the warmth that brings to humans lives. Victor had all those things and his neglect towards his creation lead to the destruction of his loved ones. #TeamSlaughter

Happy Halloween from Frankenpug!

(Yeah, yeah - I know Frankenstein is the doctor, not the monster, but Dr Frankenpug‘s Monster doesn‘t work for the pun!)

#fallisbooked

I am using the tagged book for this prompt for my #52booksin52weeks challenge as even though I technically read 3 gothic books and I am trying to start a Halloween tradition to read/listen to this collection as I bought it last year and read/listen to them for the first time. This year it fits this prompt nicely.

Happy Halloween

Feel like Halloween is the perfect day for sharing this quote from Frankenstein, which is a book I utterly love.

“As night approached I found myself at the entrance of the #cemetery... Everything was silent except the leaves of the trees, which were gently agitated by the wind; the night was nearly dark, and the scene would have been solemn and affecting even to an uninterested observer. The spirits of the departed seemed to flit around and to cast a shadow, which was felt but not seen, around the head of the mourner.” #QuotsyOct19

Today‘s movie - 4 points #teamslaughter #scarathlon @Clwojick 🎃😈

I greatly need a friend who would have sense enough not to despise me as a romantic, and affection enough for me to endeavor to regulate my mind.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ When I (finally) read Frankenstein last year, it swiftly earned a spot in my favorites. Young Shelley‘s gothic horror classic is bold and intricate, horrific and touching. It‘s evokes compassion in unexpected ways. A brilliant and scarily timeless work of art.

“You are my creator, but I am your master — obey!”

This is by far one of my favorite books of all time. Shelley is a bad ass! There‘s no ounce of Hollywood and it‘s vernacular of Frank that can convey this story

▶️🎧🏃🏼‍♀️ Beautiful 4mi run on the greenway with Frankenstein in my ears. Everything is still pretty green in Tennessee, but the weather has finally cooled off and I‘m here for it!

This is a great book. Horror at its best in the day. A perfect horror for me and only the second classic I‘ve ever read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ I wasn‘t a big fan of this, but they can‘t all be winners!

4.0/5.0

This graphic depiction stay true to Shelley's story withoutvthe epistolary storyline. The graphics are good, but the faces are creepy.

Saturday morning classic! This one is almost as good as Frankenstein meets the Wolfman. @TheReadingMermaid #teamstoker #scarathlon

In my happy place hoping to finish this one up before I have to go into work today.( Don't they know that Saturday's are for reading and Caturdaying?! Anyway..) This book couldn't be further from what pop culture has portrayed this story as. It's very flowery and verbose but enjoyable.

A vary famous #monster for today‘s #chillingphotochallenge #Scarathlon #TeamStoker @TheReadingMermaid @Clwojick

Call me basic, but this stuff is 7%. 😝🎃🍺

This rating is mostly based on the audiobook version. I‘ll have to give this a reread sometime on print. Is it bad that I felt sympathy for the monster and kind of hated Frankenstein?
