Definitely my favorite horror story, but the horror is kind of a lingering/creepy sort of horror (not jump-scare kind of horror). I love that Mary Shelley provides both Dr Frankenstein’s and the monster’s perspective, but since it’s a story wrapped in a story I found it a bit confusing in the beginning. Once you get into it though it just gets better and better.
