Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (née Godwin; 30 August 1797 – 1 February 1851) was an English novelist, short story writer, dramatist, essayist, biographer, and travel writer, best known for her Gothic novel Frankenstein: or, The Modern Prometheus (1818). She also edited and promoted the works of her husband, the Romantic poet and philosopher Percy Bysshe Shelley. Her father was the political philosopher William Godwin, and her mother was the philosopher and feminist Mary Wollstonecraft.
After Wollstonecraft's death less than a month after her daughter Mary was born, Mary was raised by Godwin, who was able to provide his daughter with a rich, if informal, education, encouraging her to adhere to his own liberal political theories. When Mary was four, her father married a neighbour, with whom, as her stepmother, Mary came to have a troubled relationship.
In 1814, Mary began a romance with one of her father’s political followers, the then married Percy Bysshe Shelley. Together with Mary's stepsister Claire Clairmont, Mary and Shelley left for France and traveled through Europe. Upon their return to England, Mary was pregnant with Percy's child. Over the next two years, she and Percy faced ostracism, constant debt, and the death of their prematurely born daughter. They married in late 1816, after the suicide of Percy Shelley's first wife, Harriet.

Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus (Edition 1831) by Mary Wollstonecraft SHELLEY - Unabridged audiobook A mentally unstable genius, Victor Frankenstein, inspired by the dreams of ancient alchemists and empowered by modern science, creates a humanoid but fails to nurture and educate it after it comes to life.

Moved by the creature's account of its sufferings, the scientist agrees, but a long period of procrastination awakens doubts that ultimately cause him to break his promise. In retaliation, the creature begins a ...

One more seduction
A silver cup
A brand new trophy
You're on her shelf
She'll give you sure signs
She'll cut you slack
And once you've entered
You can't come back
A grand illusion
Clear skies above
Another conquest
Another victim of love
Who's it gonna be?
Who's it gonna be?
Your next victory baby
Who's it gonna be?
Who's it gonna be?
I can't wait to see, baby
She's magic, she's mystical
A work of art, a miracle
She's magic, she's mystical
A work of art, a miracle
She'll pull you under
It's worth the price
Lightning and thunder
Don't blink your eyes
A doublecross, yeah
Is all you get
She'll light you up and put you out
Just like a cigarette
She will confuse you
And gently bruise
Another ploy
Another victim of love
Who's it gonna be?
Who's it gonna be?
Your next victory baby
Who's it gonna be?
Who's it gonna be?
I can't wait to see, baby
She's magic, she's mystical
A work of art, a miracle
She's magic, she's mystical
A work of art, a miracle
Who's it gonna be?
Who's it gonna be?
Your next victory baby
Who's it gonna be?
Who's it gonna be?
I can't wait to see, baby
She's magic, she's mystical
