Women and Horror – Frankenstein
Today’s topic comes from QSFer John Allenson: This is women in Horror month. To honour one of the most influential hooror books written by a woman, let’s talk about Frankenstein? Are you more interested in mad scientists or the creatures they create? In what way was Frankenstein irresponsible? Was it in reckless action or was it in abandoning his child? From Jurassic Park to Roboapocalypse to Ascension to The Rocky Horror Picture Mary Shelley’s ideas still resonate with us. John asked so many great questions above, I don’t think I need to add any. Discuss!
