What do many consider the 1st #scienceFiction?

One of the first works of #horror (certainly #bodyHorror)?

#MaryShelley's "#Frankenstein"

Written as a *teenager*

A teenager who had recently lost a baby

I think that's key

Horror not from taking life

But creating life

She went to Switzerland with her lover Percy Shelley who was fleeing creditors in Britain

The summer was cold and rainy so #LordByron (yes him) proposed a #ghostStory #writingContest

I think she won

1/x
