novel written by Mary Shelley (1797 - 1851), published on 1 January 1818.
Shelley travelled to Geneva in 1816 with her future husband, Percy Shelley as
well as friends Lord Byron and John Polidori. Due to the dismal weather, which left the group
shut in their villa, Byron suggested they hold a horror-story writing
competition. After several nights of intense thought, Mary Shelley went to bed
and dreamt of a young man obsessed with creating life. This led to her writing the horror story which
eventually became the genre-defining novel Frankenstein. Pix 3 shows the Lenticular effect !! Date of Issue: 18 June 2018. (JF17). |
