The forgotten story of a young woman who inspired love, lust, art, and betrayal, from the bestselling author of The Lioness of Boston.

During the dangerous summer storms of 1816, a group of famous young writers gathered at a mansion on the shores of Lake Geneva, Switzerland. Brilliant Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, her fiery fiancé Percy Shelley, the famously promiscuous Lord Byron, and John Polidori, his sexually tormented personal physician. At the group’s center was Claire Clairmont, Mary’s impressionable, clever, and dangerously loyal stepsister.

Those months of desire and scandal gave the world the works of Frankenstein, the modern vampire, and the mythic image of these Romantic literary giants. In this intense and propulsive story, Claire tries to solve the mystery of why she was all but erased from history.

Fueled by Jane Austen’s romantic novels, and believing love offers freedom, Claire begins an affair with celebrity Lord Byron and convinces Mary and Shelley to follow him to Switzerland. With the threat of paparazzi lurking nearby, Claire’s intimate connection to each member of the celebrity group grows more complex. Their escapade takes a darker turn as each traveler is forced to contend with their own secrets and betrayals.

With searing relevance to our here and now—of celebrity worship, climate disaster, of complicated femininity, Love & Other Monsters is the untold origin story of Frankenstein, a feminist reckoning of sisters, survival, and the creation of monsters—both those on the page and those who walk among us.

Every time I picked up this book I felt like I was knocking on a door to another world.” Ben Shattuck, author of The History of Sound

“The author’s lyrical prose...is a devoted restoration of a figure whose presence and contribution were obscured by men’s—and Mary’s—interventions. A satisfying...act of literary reanimation.” Kirkus

What must we sacrifice for love? For art? Emily Franklin has written a moving and fascinating book.” Elizabeth Graver, author of Kantika

“Emily Franklin’s novel is as thrilling and tempestuous as the storm-battered summer that inspired Frankenstein. This is a rich, haunting novel about the monsters among us, the ones we create, and the ones we harbor within ourselves.” David Lindsay-Abaire, Pulitzer/Tony Award Winning playwright

I was hooked from the first witticism on the first page, and readers will find much to cheer, groan, rage, weep, and laugh about in this captivating story.” Maria Pinto, author of Fearless, Sleepless, Deathless

Would be 5 stars if it glowed brighter
Color: blue-glow, Color: blue-glow
SHORT VERSION Yes buy this! Just don’t expect it to glow very bright. COLOR I thought about getting the Black, Navy, or Mint Green, but instead I got the ZBlue bc of the glow-in-the-dark feature. I like it, but it doesn’t glow that bright when exposed to a light bulb. You can see the pic I posted that’s almost black, that’s after holding it next to a bright light for a few minutes. But when I exposed it to the sunshine through a window for a few minutes, it glowed MUCH brighter (see the other glow pic). But, how are you going to expose it to the sun when its dark outside? When my wife first saw the color, she said “that’s stupid” haha. But I think it’s growing on her. For these photos, I put it on a white background, with DeWalt Yellow and Kobalt Blue next to it so you can see it’s true color. I wouldn’t buy this for its glowing feature, just buy the color you like. Even at night, there’s usually too much ambient light in the room, from the TV or lamps, for this faint glow to be seen. FIT & FEEL It feels like super soft silicone rubber, I like it. Feels very high quality. The remote slid in really easy, and I thought it might be too big, and the remote would fall out, but it hasn’t. The texture feels great, and the thicker pads on top and bottom help you hold onto the remote. It doesn’t slide between the couch cushions anymore, and that’s really why I bought it! An added bonus is that now I can immediately see which side is the top of the remote! Before, I sometimes hit the wrong button bc I wouldn’t realize I was holding the remote upside down. Overall, I’m definitely glad I bought this.

Fantastic Fintie: Saving My Apple Remote
Not a lot to say about this little case other than I absolutely love it! The red is a great color and somewhat matches the general color theme of my TV area. I don't have the smallest hands around and often worried about dropping this (very expensive) remote. I was so afraid of my Apple TV remote slipping and breaking, getting lost, etc that I actually wrapped it up in a microfiber cloth whenever I wasn't using it. On top of that I often picked it up upside-down which is easy for me to do as I'm partially blind and didn't always feel for either the volume button, top sensor, or lightning port to orient it properly. I'd be swiping on the bottom, thinking it's the top, until I realized with chagrin that I had been touching the inert piece of plastic that is the bottom third of the remote's face for the last five seconds while wondering why my Apple TV wasn't talking to me or making any noise the way it was supposed to. This case solves all of these problems. The remote is easy to hold onto, I don't feel like it'll get easily lost, and I never mess up its orientation anymore. Nice job, Finty. Edit as of March 10, 2020 I saw the helpful votes this review has received, so I figured I'd post an update for you guys! I always appreciate reviews that keep potential buyers up to date, giving them an idea of how a product holds up over time. I got this little case 3 years ago. It's still doing great! It still serves its purpose beautifully and I am very happy with it! It's traveled with me and my Apple TV from home to a college dorm room and to vacations too! It hasn't stretched out and still holds the remote secure. Visually, it makes the remote easier to find and tactually it's easier for me to orient so I don't swipe ineffectually on the wrong end of the remote like I did before.

Much Easier to Handle
Color: Black
First let me say that I didn't want to have to buy a case for my remote. It's such a beautiful device that I hate to hide it but unfortunately I have to because it's just not very practical to use. First, it's so slim that it's hard to pick up from a flat surface. Second, it's so slippery that I was afraid it would fall out of my hands. And third, I have tile floors so if it ever fell, I know it would shatter. The Fintie case solves all of these problems. It gives the remote just the right amount of thickness and grippiness to make it easy to pick up and use, and I feel like it if ever fell onto my tile floor, the Fintie case would protect it from chips and shatters. Admittedly, the case does detract from the beauty of the remote, but it does make the remote more usable day-to-day. And in a sense it protects the beauty of the remote because a shattered one wouldn't look very nice now would it?
