On this week’s episode of My Victorian Nightmare, Genevieve will discuss the life of Mary Shelley. The mother of science fiction. The mother of gothic horror. We will discuss her tragic life, her poetic romance, her monster, and the ways she spun the most unimaginable grief, like a silken web, into a masterpiece.
