Frankenstein Bust Victor Frankenstein's Story is an 1818 novel penned by English author Mary Shelley. The story centers around Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant young scientist who creates a sentient creature through an unconventional scientific experiment. Mary Shelley began writing the story at 18 and published the first edition anonymously in London on January 1, 1818, when she was just 20. Her name appeared for the first time in the second edition, released in Paris in 1821. Mary Shelley traveled extensively throughout Europe in 1815, cruising along Germany's Rhine River, stopping briefly in Gernsheim, only 11 miles from Frankenstein Castle. This historic site holds significance as an alchemist conducted experiments there two centuries prior. She then journeyed to the picturesque region of Geneva, Switzerland, where much of the story unfolds. Her companions, particularly her lover Percy B. Shelley and Lord Byron, engaged in lively discussions about galvanism and occult ideas. In 1816, Mary Shelley, along with Percy and Lord Byron, participated in a competition to craft the most chilling horror tale. After days of contemplation, Mary's imagination sparked as she envisioned a scientist who brought life into being but was horrified by his creation, inspiring her to write Frankenstein.
