Her mother died soon after her birth, and Mary was raised first under the care of servants, then by a stepmother, and finally in the rarefied intellectual atmosphere of her father's circle. In May 1814, she met Percy Bysshe Shelley and, in July of the year, moved with him to the Continent. Two years later, after the death of Shelley's wife, the poet and Mary were able to wed. It was in Switzerland in 1816, as a result of a story-writing competition among the Shelleys and Lord Byron, that Mary began \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e, her first and most famous novel. Published in 1818, it was followed by such works as \u003ci\u003eValperga\u003c\/i\u003e (1823), \u003ci\u003eThe Last Man\u003c\/i\u003e (1826), and \u003ci\u003eFalkner\u003c\/i\u003e (1837).

By 1871, he had become the drama critic for the Dublin \u003ci\u003eMail\u003c\/i\u003e and had gained experience as a newspaper editor, reporter, and short story writer. In 1878 he became the personal assistant to Sir Henry Irving, the foremost Shakespearean actor of his day, accompanying him on tours and managing Irving's theater. After Irving's death in 1905, Stoker worked on the literary staff of the London \u003ci\u003eTelegraph\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003ci\u003e Dracula\u003c\/i\u003e, his most famous work, was published in 1897. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Throughout his life, \u003cb\u003eRobert Louis Stevenson\u003c\/b\u003e (1850-1894) was plagued by ill health, which interrupted his formal education at Edinburgh University.

Through this simple plot device, Shelley was able to deal with serious real-world issues like acceptance, tolerance, and understanding, as well as the universal human need for companionship and love. The novel, of course, inspired a host of films, from the 1931 classic starring Boris Karloff to \u003ci\u003eAndy Warhol's Frankenstein, \u003c\/i\u003e and more recently, a series of novels by Dean Koontz. This version, though slightly abridged, retains much of the original dialogue and remains true to Shelley's brilliant vision.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Classical Comics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50585656951058,"sku":"9781906332495","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_ba649310-6eba-47bf-a1f5-9addce496ed6.jpg?v=1732038827"},{"product_id":"1-35am-an-afk-book-five-nights-at-freddys-fazbear-frights-3-volume-3","title":"1:35am: An Afk Book (Five Nights at Freddy's: Fazbear Frights #3): Volume 3","description":"\u003ci\u003eFive Nights at Freddy's\u003c\/i\u003e fans won't want to miss this pulse-pounding collection of three novella-length tales that will keep even the bravest FNAF player up at night...\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor Delilah, Stanley, and Devon, being left behind is practically a way of life.
