Aged 16 and pregnant, Mary runs away to Switzerland with the married poet Percy Bysshe Shelley.

But cast out by her family and isolated by society, Mary Shelley created Frankenstein and his monster, forged in the fire of her troubled and tragic life.
Part biography and part graphic novel, Mary's Monster is an engrossing take on one remarkable young woman and her monster.
