Judge’s poetry and black and white illustrations beautifully evoke the darkness and difficulties Mary Shelley faced. Judge does a marvelous job setting Mary Shelley’s story in its historical context. In the same way that Frankenstein was a genre-defying blend of romantic and gothic literature with science fiction, Mary’s Monster is a genre-defying illustrated historical novel in verse. Mary’s Monster: Love, Madness, and How Mary Shelley Created Frankenstein, by Lita Judge tells the story of Mary Shelley’s monsters (personal, familial and societal) and how they led her to write Frankenstein. It starts off a bit slowly, but it is worth persevering because the ending is perfect – much better than the original ending.
