All Comments on 'Real Life Frankenstein (1818)'

did'nt know this !!

Really like this.

Very nicely constructed. I particularly liked the slide into gothic horror in the last seven lines & the use of the word ‘slayer’ there to emphasise.

I think generally readers on the site react more positively to poems that are warm and cuddly or, if not, lie behind reinforced glass. This poem is not cuddly and it just stands there, licking its lips, staring at the reader.

Original.

Thanks for this poem pointing out this weird event in history. Truth really is stranger than fiction.
