Mary Shelley (author)
Mary Shelley's Classic Gothic Thriller, a passionate romance & a cautionary tale about the dangers of science. Adapted into film several times but never reaching the level of the novel. A must-read for anyone who thinks they know the tale (from watching the films made over the years).
