I just read this myself and I strongly recommend it. Even better than The Martian and the ending is superb!

04.02.2026 17:56 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0A dramatic, artistic composite portrait of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797โ1851), the English novelist best known as the author of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (1818). The image overlays a classic 19th-century oil painting-style depiction of Shelleyโshown in a three-quarter view with pale skin, dark curly hair parted in the center and falling softly around her face, large expressive brown eyes gazing directly and thoughtfully at the viewer, and wearing a low-cut black off-the-shoulder gown typical of Regency-era fashionโonto a dark, textured background filled with layers of translucent, handwritten manuscript text in faded ink. The overlaid script appears to be excerpts from Frankenstein (or closely related drafts), featuring Mary Shelleyโs own elegant, flowing cursive handwriting with crossed-out words, revisions, and phrases such as โthe wretched phantom,โ โcatastrophe,โ โlimbs,โ โrain,โ โwindow,โ โfeatures,โ โgreat God,โ โskin scarcely covered,โ โwork of muscles and arteries,โ and other evocative fragments describing the Creatureโs creation and appearance. The text swirls and overlaps around her face and shoulders like ghostly memories or the very pages of her groundbreaking novel coming to life, creating a haunting, literary effect that symbolizes how her personal experiences, intellectual circle (including Percy Shelley and Lord Byron), and the famous 1816 ghost-story contest at Villa Diodati inspired one of literatureโs most enduring and influential works on creation, responsibility, isolation, and the ethics of science.
Novelist, poet & essayist Mary Shelley died #OTD in 1851.
