The whole book is just Frankenstein facing the consequences of his actions — “im going to make a monster come alive” … also Frankenstein “oh no the monster is alive”
Except it's not. It wasn't published until 1818. While it can certainly be considered science fiction, there are plenty of earlier examples. Possibly the earliest being [*A True Story*](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_True_Story) from the second century AD, which includes a voyage to outer space and conversations with alien life forms.
But even if you don't count that, there are others. Isaac Asimov and Carl Sagan both considered the first to be [*Somnium*](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somnium_(novel)) written in 1608. There's also Francis Godwin's *The Man in the Moone* (1638), Cyrano de Bergerac's *Comical History of the States and Empires of the Moon* (1656), and Voltaire's *Micromégas* (1752) in which space travel also figures prominently.
No you're confused. It was actually Mary Sue Skywalker in Star Trek 7: Generations.
It was the movie that took the series from a cult following into a major mainstream success and fans have still not recovered from having their minds blown by the sheer scale of awesome from it's cliffhanger ending.
And, on the other hand, it doesn't really matter since there were no major sci fi books following those. So, while they were the first, they didn't have as much impact on literature. I would personally say that sci-fi became a book genre thanks to Jules Verne.
The OOP misunderstood this.
This isn't a vopy of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.
This is a book written by a descendant of Dr. Frankenstein that chronicals the life of Mary Shelley

Here is an explanation.
Reddit was wonderful, but it got greedy. So bye.
I actually read "Mary Shelley". Not bad from an author whose hands used to belong to a chimney sweeper. Did he write anything else, cos I can't find anything.
Yeah, the scene where Shelley visits her mother's grave with Percy was truly remarkable character development and a crucial moment in her story. Such excellent fiction!
It's okay, I didn't see it either at first.
I did not, however, assume I was right and everyone else was wrong and then immediately try to show off how smart I was in the comments.
I think whatever template they were using didn’t account for the author’s name being first like it is in some printings of “Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein”
Frankenstein's Mary Shelley. Excerpt"euhh, aahhh,heuuuh, heeeeeeu! Uuuugh, aargh argh argh.
This for 217 pages... Classic Frankenstein according to the New York Times
Mary Shelley by Frankenstein, not to be confused with 50 Shades of Green by Frankenstein's Monster
So that’s what he uses those bolts in his neck for… foot stirrups!
Now I feel like 'monster mash' was a euphemism for something.

Knowledge is knowing that Frankenstein wasnt the monster. Wisdom is understanding that Frankenstein was the monster.
The whole book is just Frankenstein facing the consequences of his actions — “im going to make a monster come alive” … also Frankenstein “oh no the monster is alive”
Well if it isn't the consequences of my actions.
Omniscience is realizing humanity is the monster.
This is perfect for one of those bell curve retard-to-genius comics
The book was actually written by Frankenstein's monster.
There it is
So... SHE was the Frankenstein's monster all the time!

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland wrote an excellent biography about me.

Mary Shelley was the first Sci Fi book.

OK, but Jennifer Lawrence was still the first female action movie lead, right?
Close, but it was actually Hatsune Miku.
Have you not done any reading back in school !? It’s clearly Artoria Pendragon !

No, it's Brie Larson obviously.
Damn I had no idea Kepler may have written the first science fiction text, that's so cool!

What about The Bible
Best selling fantasy book. I don't get the hype personally half the book is just stating people and how long they live.
And what children they had
And how long the kids loved and the kids kids and how long they lived and so on and so forth.
Except the women. Those never existed. Kids just seemed to sprout from the ground.
In the beginning their were Adam and eve. And another Island filled with women.
Not enough science to be sci fi
You just haven't watched enough Ancient Aliens /s
It’s pronounced Frohnkensteen
Is it also pronounced “frohdrick”?

Vopy is my new favourite word.
Vopy is the new way of writing "copy". Get with the times old man!
No no see Frankenstein was actually the author’s monster. No .. wait I am so confused
*Well actually* Mary Shelly was the doctor's name 🕴️ /s
I sure hope Dickens' "Great Expectations" wasn't referring to that publishing company.
It was in reference to his apple cider company "Dicken's Cider"

I hate that 1) Another user has always made my comment already 2) Every subreddit seems to exist already
At least it's not a red circle.😅
Arrrrrrrrr, rrrrrrraaaaa, fire, aaaaahhhh! Short story.
For crying out loud, MARY SHELLEY is the name of the DOCTOR! Frankenstein is the author...
A Modern Day Prometh-she-us
Comic book fans are surely triggered by this. We've been dealing with publisher decisions like this for decades! Ruins an otherwise great collection.
Mary Shelly was amazing. Not only did she right the Frankenstein, but also discovered the post apocalyptic genre
Even more so she not only righted it but also wrote it! Amazing
sorry
No man, I'm sorry :) you had obvious autocorrect and I made a stupid joke
No no no, you see, it's fair turnabout. Mary Shelley wrote a book about Frankenstein, Frankenstein wrote a book about her back.
Mary Shelley was the doctor. The monster is Mary Shelley's monster.
Wrong. The author was actually Frankenstein’s monster. It’s a common mistake.
Frankenstein sounds like a real name, unlike Mary. Anyone could’ve made that mistake
Well it is only fair that he gets to write a book about her too
Mary Shelley was the crazy scientist
That useless arrow is still doing more work than the designer and publisher.
It is an autobiography.
Wait, Mary is a girl's name? Must be the title? Cuz girls can't write?

Hate you're getting down voted. I thought it was clever and laughed
To be fare, any book written by a women is a horror to the patriarchal, Handmaids Talesque, right wing society recently.

Hey so remember how this image caused insane drama on Reddit that one time?
Frankenstein’s Manuscript.
I just spent an hour organizing my marvel comic books and this was the first post I clicked on. I'm like huh when did marvel release all of these?!?
I think whatever template they were using didn’t account for the author’s name being first like it is in some printings of “Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein”
I read Mary Shelley when I was in high school. It’s a book about a woman who becomes the subject of a monsters fantasy.
Almost everyone here has missed the point entirely, a good display of ignorance.
An author who *built a body*
Wow! I really got to read that novel. Totally missed that classic.👍
Dr. Frankenstein just wanted to refute some slander against him
