Happy Birthday, Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein, a classic tale of madmen and monsters. But who is the real moster?

The life of Mary Shelley was full of torment, turmoil, and triumph, and a horror tale on its own. In "Mary's Monster," Lita Judge tells her tale in free verse with stunning black-and-white watercolor images. It's heartbreaking and poetic and a story that doesn't get told often enough.
