Bernie Wrightsons Frankenstein

Product Information

Fourth: As surprised as I am to be saying this, this novel has ousted Dracula as my all time favorite of the classic horror stories…sorry Bram, but the good/evil, sad, desperate loneliness of the orphaned monster trying to find a purpose and to define himself in the world trumps The Count. Yes, I realize that I'm a moron with zero literary credibility. So, stop reading right now if the sound of an idiot whistling out of their asshole bothers you too terribly. Sure, you can comment below and tell me how stupid I am, but it probably won't make me a better person. Or will it...?

Eleven: I expected the prose to be good but, having never read Shelley before, I was still surprised by how exceptional and ear-pleasing it was. Her writing really resonated with me and I loved her ability to weave emotion, plot momentum and a high literary quotient seamlessly together. Good, good stuff. Long before Wrightson, people have been obsessed with the 1818 novel Frankenstein: The Modern Prometheus: the story of an undergraduate student who quits his degree to pursue the world’s weirdest independent study project: building a living person out of human corpses. After being abandoned by his horrified creator, the unnamed Creature teaches himself to speak and read, hoping to overcome the intrinsic revulsion others feel towards him. As he later laments, though, his endeavors are fruitless: “A fatal prejudice clouds [everyone’s] eyes, and where they ought to see a feeling and kind friend, they behold a detestable monster.” Shelley, Mary. 1980. Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus (1831 text), Oxford: Oxford University Press. The original edition of this book is nearly impossible to find.

Five: No one can conceive the variety of feelings which bore me onwards, like a hurricane, in the first enthusiasm of success. Life and death appeared to me ideal bounds, which I should first break through, and pour a torrent of light into our dark world. A new species would bless me as its creator and source; many happy and excellent natures would owe their being to me. No father could claim the gratitude of his child so completely as I should deserve theirs. Pursuing these reflections, I thought that if I could bestow animation upon lifeless matter, I might in process of time (although I now found it impossible) renew life where death had apparently devoted the body to corruption. As gorgeous as the prose is, I thought it a crime not to include at least one quote. My apologies, but this review is going to be a bit frantic due to my brain being so oxygen-starved by the novel’s breath-stealing gorgeousness that I'm feeling a bit light-headed. So please forgive the random thoughts. Wrightson received the H.P. Lovecraft Award (also known as the "Howie") at the 2007 H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival in Portland, Oregon. [52]Mary Shelley was taken seriously as a writer in her own lifetime, though reviewers often missed the political edge to her novels. After her death, however, she was chiefly remembered only as the wife of Percy Bysshe Shelley and as the author of Frankenstein. It was not until 1989, when Emily Sunstein published her prizewinning biography Mary Shelley: Romance and Reality, that a full-length scholarly biography analyzing all of Shelley's letters, journals, and works within their historical context was published.

Bernie Wrightson (1948 – 2017) was the co-creator of the famous D.C character Swamp Thing, and was renowned throughout his career for his work horror and suspense comic books. And for me this says a great deal about society, not just the society in which this was written, but society in general: how many of us feel truly alive?

Listen to the passion, to the intellect and witness such a wasted opportunity. Victor, you’re a silly, silly, man.
