Did you know Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein on a dare? When she was nineteen? And had the idea when she was eighteen? And it took eighteen month from writing to publishing?

As much as I love Poe and Lovecraft (spoiler: we’ll see him next week!), Shelley was definitely in a league of her own. Like Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Shelley’s Frakenstein (and Frakenstein Monster) lived on and had spinoff after spinoff after spinoff, including this one.

Thank you, Emma Vicieli, for being one of the rare female artists who’s unafraid to draw dicks. The rest of you can fuck all the way off.

The blurb:

Elizabeth Kleve is a brilliant young medical student, attracted to the waspish, charismatic surgeon James Frankenstein. He wants to further medical science… by all means necessary. So how far is Elizabeth prepared to go?

A twisted horror/romance that walks a fine line between attraction and fear.
