Ever wonder where Mary Shelley got the inspiration to write the very first sci-fi masterpiece?  This is the tale of not only Mary Shelley's life, but the inspiration leading up to the book and the inspiration her character Victor Frankenstein was influenced by. 

You don't need to have read the book to follow along with this one, but if you do want to read it first, there is a free copy on Amazon for kindle.  It takes about three hours to read and is well worth it because it is good!  I recommend the 1831 revision. also, there is always the library.

Hope you enjoy!  If you do, please subscribe!  If you have anything to add to the discussion you can find a post on Instagram under Dissecting Medical History.   I'd love to hear your thoughts about the topic.
