Check out this Substack article and learn why I chose this classic for us to read together.

Published in 1818, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a Gothic novel about Victor Frankenstein, a Swiss scientist who creates a sentient, grotesque creature.

Driven by ambition, Victor abandons his creation, which, neglected and lonely, vows revenge against humanity and its creator, leading to a series of murders and the destruction of Victor’s life.
