This classic novel was a big hit with the group when we first read it back in 2018, so it's time to bring back the monster again.
The meeting will start at 7pm and finish between 9.00 and 10pm (BST), with breaks in between.
Here’s the summary from Goodreads:
Frankenstein ranks among the most enduring horror tales ever imagined. The groaning Monster, bolts erupting from his neck and stitches fastening his square brow, is famous worldwide. But the creature born in Mary Shelley's mind nearly two hundred years ago was far more murderous and raging, but also articulate, lonely, and gravely misunderstood by the world into which he was thrust.
The story of Victor Frankenstein emerges in a series of letters penned by Walton, an English explorer icebound in the Arctic. While studying natural philosophy in Geneva, Frankenstein discovers how to give life to inanimate matter, and from dead flesh constructs a living being. His Monster possesses superhuman speed and strength, and learns of human emotion by studying Goethe, Plutarch, and Milton's Paradise Lost . But as the creature's mind and thoughts develop, his loneliness and misery build, and he acts out in deadly violence.
