Millennial Mary Shelley

Created science fiction | Frankenstein is not the monster, ok?

[Millennial Mary Shelley @MillennialMaryS]

Really hate when I go to cons and dudes explain science fiction to me. My dude, I created the genre. I do not have time for this.

Once again:
Knowledge is knowing Frankenstein is not the monster.
Wisdom is knowing Frankenstein IS the monster.

David Darling and Daniel Cook spotted doing media work in Mary Shelley’s old residence (South Baffin Street, Dundee) earlier today… 🧐

[Icona @iconawrites]

Mary Shelley did try to warn us about hubristic STEM bros who make strange, impulsive experiments and then watch helplessly as their creation destroys itself at the expense of ordinary people.

We need your help to purchase a first edition of Mary Wollstonecraft's Posthumous Works.

This first edition would fill a significant gap in Chawton House's collection and help us to expand the public access to Wollstonecraft's works.

Someone needs to read Frankenstein agian because "impersonal never 'magical,'" are not words to associate with Victor or his creature. Lots of emotional, personal crying, and the whole procedure smacks of magic. Also, science is just a technical term for magic.

Henry, when I must pause here, for his limbs were those I should pity or feel thus, I was a hoarse voice.
