Founded by Ron MacCloskey in 1997, Frankenstein Friday is meant to celebrate the birth of the Frankenstein monster, as well as Mary Shelley, the creator and author. Frankenstein Friday is a fun and silly reason to celebrate and enjoy a variety of aspects of the day, including classic literature, the horror genre of books and films, and the continued rise of women as authors.
First published anonymously in 1818, it wasn’t until the second edition in 1823 that Mary Shelley’s name appeared on this gothic work of fiction. Some people also consider Frankenstein to be one of the earliest examples of science fiction.
