Join us in person or online for this month’s book group meeting to talk about Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley.

Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus, was completed by Mary Shelley at the age of 19. She infused this original novel with Gothic and Romantic elements.

Scientist Victor Frankenstein creates a large and powerful creature in the likeness of man, but is disgusted by his own creation and he abandons the being to fend for itself.

Spawning generations of horror stories in the genre, Frankenstein is a gruesome warning against playing God and attempting the engineering of life.

Menlo Park’s Sci-Fi/Fantasy Book Group meets on the 4th Monday of each month.
