...I shouldn't be allowed in bookstores unaccompanied, especially during "buy three get one" week
Today I decided to avoid the crowds & commercialisation of Pride Toronto and bought books instead!
- The Monsters: Mary Shelley and the Curse of Frankenstein (about Mary, and her life, and also about Percy and Byron and Claire and Polidori and all the surrounding ~drama~, and about Frankenstein and The Vampyre.)
- The Vampyre: The Secret History of Lord Byron (in which Polidori was not making things up and Byron actually is basically Lord Ruthven)
- So Shelly (a high school AU where Keats and Byron bond after the tragic and untimely death of their mutual friend girl!Percy)
- The Casebook of Victor Frankenstein (narrated by Victor but also featuring all the various associated real-life literary figures, because that is what Peter Ackroyd does.)
It is distinctly possible that there is a Theme here.
(I also bought another monster doll, Dead Tired Draculaura. But to be honest, right now I'm more excited about the books.)
