Frankenstein by, Mary Shelley plus Holiday book swap.

We will be celebrating the winter holidays with a book swap. Bring in a wrapped book that you would love to share with a friend. The book can be hardcover or paperback, new or used and wrapping doesn’t need to be fancy. We will pick numbers and pick from the pile of books but beware, books can be stolen by other members.

We will be reading “Frankenstein” by Mary Shelley.

Obsessed with creating life itself, Victor Frankenstein plunders graveyards for the material to fashion a new being, which he shocks into life with electricity. But his botched creature, rejected by Frankenstein and denied human companionship, sets out to destroy his maker and all that he holds dear. Mary Shelley's chilling Gothic tale was conceived when she was only eighteen, living with her lover Percy Shelley near Byron's villa on Lake Geneva. It would become the world's most famous work of horror fiction, and remains a devastating exploration of the limits of human creativity.
