- Frequently called the world’s first science fiction novel, Shelley’s tale is the story of Dr. Victor Frankenstein, a scientist whose creation, constructed in the lab from dismembered corpses, comes alive. The monster is gentle and intelligent, although physicallly hideous, and is abandoned by his creator. Unable to find companionship in the world, the monster becomes increasingly savage. Mary Shelley was only 21 years old when she came up with the story of Frankenstein while vacationing in Switzerland with her husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and the poet Lord Byron, who suggested the three friends compete to see who could make up the best ghost story
