Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
The most well-known horror novella ever written is Frankenstein. It portrays the terrifying story of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant young natural philosopher who unearths the meaning of life. In the grip of his fixation, he creates a creature out of dead body parts and gives it life. The outcomes are disastrous for Victor and his family. Frankenstein, which Mary Shelley wrote when she was only eighteen, was influenced by the Gothic literature craze and the ghost stories that attracted the Romantic writers of her period. She turned these paranormal components into a heroic narrative that spoke of the dangers that growing technological advancement poses to humanity.

Some claim that Frankenstein was the first science fiction book. In it, that future is represented by Frankenstein’s monster, a strange representation of “the child” that has been through a horror and terror Imaginarium. The year after the book was released, both of Shelley’s infants died of malaria. As a result, her novel understands the connection between creativity and illness, as well as between birth and death. Shelley had miscarried her first baby a year prior to writing the book. Victor Frankenstein, a scientist, builds and gives life to an eight-foot-tall artificial man, but when he has done so, he abandons it and briefly loses his memory because he is horrified.
This is a piece that has lasted the test of time and is still as fascinating as it was when it was originally published. Its observations about the human psyche are still very relevant today. As long as Humans are present on Earth, the primary theme of what it means to be Human will remain valid. And this work will keep inspiring people all throughout the world. Even if people incorrectly refer to Victor’s “monster” as “Frankenstein,” everyone is familiar with the narrative because it is a classic. The creator of this classic, a teenage female who at the time was not even permitted to vote in elections or possess property, finished it at the age of 19, and it is one of the best instances of human achievement in the arts.
