So I've been reading Frankenstein and while there is a certain existential horror to it, it's really not much of a horror novel, it's much more philosophical
And, being honest, those jokes about Victor Frankenstein being the real monster are absolutely true, this man SUCKS
@coriander i remember not getting the idea that book was anything scary in high school. shelly insisted the purremise and imagery terrified her but as Scary Shit it felt really tame to me lol

@aescling @coriander well you see in the present day people use the term “horror” to mean “evokes a sense of fear”, but at the time people used the term “horror” to mean “evokes a sense of horror”
