Transformation
by Mary Shelley
I spotted the slim Alma 101 edition of Mary Shelley's Transformation and Other Stories in the library. I was unaware of these tales beforehand, and thus wrestled the tiny book out from the very packed-full shelf accordingly. I adore Frankenstein, and have been so keen to pick up more of Shelley's work for years, but rarely find it.
The three stories collected here are great. They are science-fiction-esque; normally, this is a genre which I do not enjoy, but Shelley does it so well. Her tales are highly inventive and clever, and were nowhere near as creepy as I was expecting. Engrossing, beautifully written, and so well formed, Transformation would be an excellent choice for anyone to pick up.
