Mary's Monster: Love, Madness, and How Mary Shelley Created "Frankenstein"

312 pp. | Roaring Brook | January, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-1-62672-500-3 $21.99
(2) YA This novel based on Mary Shelley's life gives readers insight into the complex author of Frankenstein, including details about her life and her creative process, in first-person verse covering lots of chronological ground. There are moments of true poetry, but even more impressive are the numerous monochromatic watercolor illustrations that envelop the verse, imbuing the work with a Gothic atmosphere of gloom, dread, and fate.
