The leading critic of supernatural literature here examines the roots of the "weird tale" (as Lovecraft called it) through detailed examinations of five "founding fathers" of the genre: Arthur Machen, Lord Dunsany, Algernon Blackwood, M.R. James, and H.P. Lovecraft. The result is a thorough study of the art, craft, philosophy, and aesthetics of an enduring genre of fantastic literature.

Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein' is a groundbreaking work of gothic fiction that delves into themes of ambition, science, and the consequences of playing god. Written in the early 19th century, this novel was a reflection of the scientific advancements and moral dilemmas of the time. Shelley's vivid descriptions and intricate storytelling make 'Frankenstein' a compelling read that combines both horror and philosophical introspection. The book's exploration of identity and the human condition continues to captivate readers to this day. Mary Shelley, the daughter of renowned feminist writer Mary Wollstonecraft, was heavily influenced by the intellectual and artistic circles of her time. The tragic events in her personal life, including the loss of her own children, shaped the dark and introspective tone of 'Frankenstein'. Shelley's own experiences with loss and grief are reflected in the themes of isolation and abandonment present in the novel. I recommend 'Frankenstein' to readers who enjoy thought-provoking literature that challenges societal norms and explores the depths of human nature. Mary Shelley's masterful storytelling and profound insights make this novel a timeless classic that remains relevant in today's world.
