Shell(ey) Shocked

Join C and John on an electrifying Halloween biographical tour of the Mother of Science Fiction, Mary Shelley! From her parents to her rocky and ultimately tragic love life and then right past all that and into who she was and what she wrote. Mary Shelley was more than Frankenstein, so much more than just the inventor of a genre and definitely a lot more than the teenager who lost her virginity in a graveyard. So grab a snack and settle in for a journey through Mary Shelley's life, her art, and ultimately who she was.
