Weird little novella that I hadn't known existed before this year, but I had fun & I lived the little creature.  Give it a gonif you have time.

“I will not go, here where you have been, where your memory glides like some heaven-visiting ghost, I will pass the long hours till we meet, never, my Juliet, again, day or night, to part.”

A darker love story with parts Romeo and Juliet as well as Cyrano de Bergerac.

The three short stories I read (Transformation, The Mortal Immortal and The Evil Eye) were really chilling stories written in classic Shelley style!

Mary Shelley has a way with words that feels unique for the time. She focuses more on crafting the story and characters rather than overcomplicating her prose, giving a more modern feel to her writing style. I enjoyed this as a fan of Frankenstein, getting to read the work that inspired such a classic story.
