Everybody is talking about this new Roman Empire thing, but the real question is: how many times do you think about that cloudy day in 1816 when Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley and John Polidori challenged eachother in creating the spookiest story ever and "The vampire" and "Frankenstein: the modern Prometheus" were born? Because for me, it happens on a daily basis.

this is your sign to start reading the introductions and prefaces at the beginnings of classic books because it’s LIFE CHANGING! it can change your whole perspective on a book.

Each book has a scholarly introduction, a timeline of Jane…

Okay I'm finally reading the whole Frankenstein book since I have only ever read some random chapters for uni and is it me or how's that everyone's gay? Not complaining at all, just checking if it's just me

How curious it was to find that apparently nothing was ever really forgotten, that the past was never really gone, that it was always lurking, ready to destroy the present, or at least to make the present seem absurd.
