It’s Halloween! One of the spookiest and personally
strangest holidays around, but when it’s Halloween and I’ve decided I want to
do something other than watch an old repeat of a film in my home-made witches’
hat and broom, I look no further than my bookshelf. One of my particular Halloween
favourites:
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley-
Okay so it isn’t really YA,
and it might be nearly 200 years old but this has to be one of the most disturbing
books I’ve read. We've all heard of Frankenstein and the books existance is so iconic to the modern Halloween holiday that when we see all the variations of the story its characters, it's easy to forget where it all came from. The tale of Dr Frankenstein and his monster that he refuses to
accept isn’t one for the faint hearted so be warned. The scenery along with the
emotional story makes this book hard to read at times. Especially when you’re
sat in the dark by yourself…
How are you spending your Halloween? Trick or treating, eating
a crazy amount of sweets or maybe going to a party? Whatever you’re doing have
fun and Happy Halloween!
Hey there! I loved Frankenstein since the first time I read it back in high school!
