Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley
In honor of October, I feel the need to rec Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.
Around this time last year, I watched a bit of the classic Universal Monster movies. Afterwards I thought “Hmm I should read Frankenstein because I know it’s a classic”. It turns out it was probably one of my favorites reads from 2025; I was so surprised at how much I enjoyed it.
If you haven’t read it but are intrigued by the overall idea of Frankenstein and the Creature, I’d definitely recommend you read it.

“In honor of finishing my paper. I am a Victor Frankenstein apologist, which nobody has my back on. It’s really a book about two guys being extremely sad. The experts (my professor and my dad) say to read the 1818 edition.”
