Autorenporträt
Mary Shelley was only eighteen when Lord Byron challenged a group of friends to write the best horror story. She fleshed out her original and this was accepted for publication when she was just twenty. Shelley wrote several novels after Frankenstein but this remains her masterpiece. She died in 1851, thirty years after the tragic early death of her husband Percy.
