The literary masterpiece that gave birth to modern science fiction—Mary Shelley's Frankenstein! The Haunted hosts with our friend & Dragon Con Horror Track Director Derek Tatum chat about the groundbreaking themes of ambition, power, and responsibility. Not only discuss the haunting question of what truly makes a "monster," but unpacks the enduring relevance of Shelley's iconic novel. Shelley's perspective as a young woman in a male-dominated literary world shaped her narrative and themes. The debate on whether Victor or society holds more blame for the creature's tragic transformation, and the morality of scientific ambition and "playing God."

Find out what the Haunted Hosts loved—and maybe didn’t love—about this Gothic Sci-Fi classic.
