The germ of the tale of Frankenstein was created when Mary Shelly, along with Percy Bysshe Shelly and several others were at a lakeside during a storm. They challenged each other to come up with a suitable story.
Mary Shelly turned her stormy tale into a full length novel.

Despite it being almost 200 years since it's publication, the novel is fresh and engaging. When the monster tells his part of the tale the reader feels every sympathy for him.
