So many depths, perceptions and literary theories. I often wonder if the author knew the realm of opening possibilities.

- Latest Review: The Unbound Soul by Richard L. Haight
It's so brilliant on so many levels, and since I first read it as a child I have always been transfixed by its themes and lessons. The sheer fact of Frankenstein's creation's namelessness is so poignant, and his journey from innocence to murderous intent is as enlightening as it is heartbreaking.
I was once on a jury for a murder case that involved a cosmetic surgeon, and Shelley sadly had so many things so very right. There's a reason that this is one of the most enduring "monster" stories, and it is not what has survived in pop culture.
