Rearranged some shelves to make room for yesterday‘s $10 book haul from the Friends shop. I decided to keep my seasonal reads out. #Poe #Shelley #Stevenson #Stoker #Wilde

Frankestein | Mary Shelley

so-so

I know it's a terrible thing to say, but I kind of struggle with this book. I mean, I don't hate it, but I find it a challenging read. The tone just doesn't grab me and pull me in. I guess I'm more a Dracula man. I know, I'm a philistine.

Jamesfahyauthor I think it's a good story, but Mary tells it very dry, almost clinical. There's none of the immediate passion you get with Dracula (although to be fair, they are very different books, they were always just lumped together in the infancy of the 'horror' genre when people were deciding what was 'gothic fiction' what was 'macabre' etc. Hammer horror has a lot to answer for linking them together in our minds. 👍🏼 7y

NamelessCityApparel @Jamesfahyauthor that's a good point, I never thought of it like that. But yes, they are very different. But it does always annoy me when people classify Dracula as pulp. To me it's a really well written book, and it's a sophisticated way of telling the story, it's a million miles away from pulp. 7y
