With tomorrow commencing the celebrations of Frankenstein Friday, it’s important to remember that Mary Shelleys 1818 novel goes further than just gothic horror.
From the woman who created one of literatures most renowned haunting monsters, her influence continues over 200 years later in sparking creativity into the minds of Leeds authors. It’s important to honour this day as Frankenstein was the first push at testing the limits between human ambition and contemporary technology.
Her timeless themes and explorative boundaries of what it means to create human life resonates with todays northern literacy scene, honouring how great minds, like hers, never die!
