"It's an underrated novel that's been completely misrepresented by film adaptations and pop culture.

"Yes, it's about an overachieving student who tries to manufacture a human being and creates a gigantic creature instead, but it has so much more to offer than what movies have made it out to be. Ultimately, it's a novel about the pain of loss and displacement, and that's something I think many people can relate to and understand.

"Frankenstein explores a huge range of passionate emotions – anxiety, despair, grief, love, rage, self-pity, self-righteousness – and questions what it means to be human and what your relationship is to the world around you.

"Victor and the Creature battle against each other, but it's their internal struggles and narratives that make the novel so moving and powerful. Shelley's ability to bring these two characters to life (see what I did there?) is astounding, and it's almost impossible not to empathize deeply with both of them." – Adam Cranne
