The story of Frankenstein was written in a time when scientists were making huge discoveries with electricity. It was over 200 years ago and a scientist by the name of Luigi Galvani had discovered that our brains sent electric signals to tell our bodies what to do. Scientists everywhere started experimenting with electricity, brains and bodies... including some very terrible practices.

Soon after these creepy stories, the story of Frankenstein was written.

Mary Shelley was only 19 years old when she wrote the story of Frankenstein. Mary got her ideas from all the news about scientists stealing bodies from graveyards and working on bringing them back to life. She had many bad dreams (nightmares) of these stories. During a trip to Geneva, she won a writing contest held by a friend (Lord Byron) in which the participants had to tell the scariest horror story.
Her boyfriend Percy encouraged her to write her story onto paper and it was so good that it became one of the greatest novels ever written… Frankenstein!
