Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel about a failed artificial life experiment that produced a monster, written by Mary Shelley. Shelley started writing the story when she was eighteen, and the novel was published when she was twenty-one. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818. Shelley's name appears on the second edition, published in France in 1823.Shelley had travelled the region in which the story takes place, and the topics of galvanism and other similar occult ideas were themes of conversation among her companions, particularly her future husband Percy Bysshe Shelley. The actual storyline was taken from a dream. Shelley was talking with three writer-colleagues, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron, and John Polidori, and they decided they would have a competition to see who could write the best horror story. After thinking for weeks about what her possible storyline could be, Shelley dreamt about a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made.Frankenstein is infused with some elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement and is also considered to be one of the earliest examples of science fiction. Brian Aldiss has argued that it should be considered the first true science fiction story, because unlike in previous stories with fantastical elements resembling those of later science fiction, the central character makes a deliberate decision and turns to modern experiments in the laboratory to achieve fantastic results.[1] The story is partially based on Giovanni Aldini's electrical experiments on dead and (sometimes) living animals and was also a warning against the expansion of modern humans in the Industrial Revolution, alluded to in its subtitle, The Modern Prometheus. It has had a considerable influence across literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories and films.

Perhaps a corpse would be re-animated." Mary Shelley did not really know what to write after the famous agreement at Byron's villa. Each of the members of the company - Percy Bishy Shelley, Lord Byron, Mary herself, doctor Polidori, and Byron's young mistress - was to write a ghost story, but only two of them took care to fulfill the promise. Doctor Polidori inspired by the question of blood as an ultimate liquid created "The Vampire", while Mary Shelley, after fruitless musing, remember the Perhaps a corpse would be re-animated." Mary Shelley did not really know what to write after the famous agreement at Byron's villa. Each of the members of the company - Percy Bishy Shelley, Lord Byron, Mary herself, doctor Polidori, and Byron's young mistress - was to write a ghost story, but only two of them took care to fulfill the promise. Doctor Polidori inspired by the question of blood as an ultimate liquid created "The Vampire", while Mary Shelley, after fruitless musing, remember the issue of returning to life through galvanism. Her idea gave the world one of the most famous horror plots in the history of literature - a desparete science student creates an artificial man from the flesh of an executed criminal. The student, Frankenstein, is obsessed with the idea of eternal life - he can't bear the idea of losing his loved ones. However, despite his attempts to create a proper man, the creature turns out to be a monster. His unfulfilled hopes and anger become a threat to Frankenstein's life. Shelly's unusually horrifying novel created a new movement in literature - sci-fi monster stories - and Frankenstein's creation became one of the most recognizable monsters in the world.
