    Summary

    What if you were 18 and your parents were dead and you were uprooted from your entire life to go live in another country, and also you made a childhood vow to a traumatic dream in which you swore to conquer death itself, but then a beautiful man decides to become your friend and won't take no for an answer; do you think you would fall in love instantly, or would it take a few months?

    Victor Frankenstein, newly orphaned, is sent to London to live with his paternal great-aunt while he arranges for his education. There he meets Henry Clerval. It all goes dreadfully downhill from there.

    Summary

    Large, freezing fingers take hold of his hair and wrench him up, up onto trembling knees as it snarls, there, close enough to rip his throat open with its maw of borrowed teeth.

    "Do not think I am not tempted, Victor!" There is no heat to its breath, as it bellows its contempt not an inch from his face. Only moisture, and rushing air, expelled to defile his name. "To bleed you. To humble you."

    --

    "You have denied me death, I deny you in kind. You must live, Victor."

    He hates the sound of his name in its mouth. Hates it. Had only it died as intended, that he would never suffer the sound again.

    "For if you will not grant me a companion, I will take you as one."

    Summary

    “You naturalists are all the same,” Victor said. “You want to line up twenty specimens in a row and take a pair of calipers to their eyes and noses and abdomens and then scribble down all that you observe and use it to make reductionist predictions about the laws of nature–as if nature were such a thing that might be constrained by laws! I have never known a more criminal, twisted mind than that of nature.”

    Summary

    Elizabeth convinces William that the imprisonment of the Creature is inhumane, and that they must take him and leave at once. William is not altogether sold on the idea of having a seven-foot-tall living corpse on his grounds, but has always found Elizabeth difficult to refuse. A brief examination over the first six months of the Creature's life as William's nephew: his first days, the discovery of his name, and Victor's sudden arrival to reclaim his creation.

    Summary

    How good is it, this lie? For he is no spirit of the forest. He is no soldier, wounded and lifted high by noble deeds and bravery in battle. His hands are a soldier’s hands–his feet, those that carried braver men to their deaths. But he is no soldier.

    (In which the Creature makes it back to the cabin before the wolves attack, saves his blind companion, and tentatively steps into a family.)
