10 Quotes From Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein

Mary Shelley was just twenty years of age when Frankenstein was first published back in 1818. Man, that was a long time ago.

Bushwick Song of the Week: Monster by Don Hopwood | inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein

Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” is one of my favorite books of all time. Getting the opportunity to write and perform a song inspired by this book was a lot of fun.
