Honestly this book is gothic horror at it's best. I enjoyed it so much. The constant parallels between the beautiful descriptions of nature and the horror of the story , all brought on by the pride of man. (Most of the important events happen in the middle of the night during a storm for extra super-gothic imagery.) It's just *chef's kiss*
While Shelley often doesn't put too much detail into how the creature looked that it would make you feel afraid, I think the most horrifying part was the description of the first few days after coming to life, not understand his senses or anything around him. I'm so glad we can't remember what it is like to be a baby! It sounds so scary and stressful, no wonder babies cry all the time.
