Did you know?

Did you know that the iconic literary character Frankenstein, created by Mary Shelley, was born from a friendly competition among friends? In 1816, during a summer getaway near Lake Geneva, Mary Shelley, her husband Percy Shelley, Lord Byron, and others engaged in a challenge to write the best horror story. Mary’s contribution evolved into the timeless tale of Dr. Victor Frankenstein and his reanimated creation. This eerie competition led to the birth of a literary classic that has not only sparked countless adaptations in various media but also continues to explore themes of creation, responsibility, and the boundaries of science and morality. The next time you encounter Frankenstein’s monster, remember the origins of its creation—a result of a hauntingly creative challenge among friends.
