"The Invisible Girl" (1833)
by Mary Shelley
Sheltering from a storm, the narrator finds a painting of "The Invisible Girl," and learns the story behind it; involving a rich widower and his son, an orphan girl, and a wandering ghost searching for her lost love.
A ghost story lacking a true supernatural element; Shelley's Gothic tale nevertheless contains other key elements of the genre.

#WilliamGodwin born on 3 March 1756. Not only the first proponent of modern day #Anarchism, but also the partner of #FeministIcon #MaryWollstonecraft and Father of #Frankenstein author #MaryShelley. His novel, #CabelWilliams, is one of the finest psychological thrillers ever written (especially considering when it was written) and an absolute searing attack on the nature of power and government. I know I'm posting this a day late, but it really is worth reading! Highly recommended.

Just started reading the #AncillaryJustice series by @ann_leckie which blazes a new trail in the subgenre started by #MaryShelley with #frankenstein - the sympathetic yet also terrifying machine/cyborg/robot. I haven't been able to put it down

2022 was not a productive year for me, but I was quite pleased with this attempt to picture how Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin (later Mary Shelley) might have looked in the dank summer of 1816 when she thought up Frankenstein.
It is pieced together by the unhallowed arts of Faceapp (de-aging Richard Rothwell's 1840 portrait of Mary) and Photoshop (combining it with appropriate dress and hairstyle from Raeburn's 1816 portrait of Lady Abercrombie.

Someone wise once told me to "learn something about everything and everything about something". BBC's "In our time" is an ideal companion for the former. The episode about "1816 - The Year Without a Summer" was incredible. Give it a listen!

Remember, Mary Shelley not only brought forth Science Fiction as a genre with Frankenstein, she did it to piss off Byron.
Byron: "Clearly I'm the pre-eminent author here."
Shelley: "Bitch, hold my absinthe."
