---Praise for Mary: or, the birth of Frankenstein---

'A bold new framing for questions about where we draw lines: between queerness and heterosexuality, the natural and the unnatural, and the imaginary and the real...' New Yorker

'A touching and convincing portrait of Mary Shelley' Financial Times

'A novel that tiptoes and whispers, woos and caresses like the darkest of fairytales' Joanne Burn, author of The Hemlock Cure

A BRAND NEW PAPERBACK EDITION OF THE BEGUILING GOTHIC NOVEL

As darkness falls and storms rage over Lake Geneva, a group of friends gather in a candle-lit-villa.

Among them are eighteen-year-old Mary and her mercurial lover Percy Shelley. As laudanum stirs their feverish imaginations, their host Lord Byron challenges everyone to write a ghost story.

Suddenly Mary is transported back to a long, strange summer in the wilds of Scotland, where she fell in love with the enigmatic Isabella Baxter.

As she remembers, something fierce and terrifying awakes within her. Now she will unleash it into the world.

Anne Eekhout is an award-winning Dutch novelist. Mary; or, the Birth of Frankenstein was inspired by the teenage years of Mary Shelley, and is the first of Anne's novels to be published in English. It is currently being translated into 14 languages.
