  Frankenstein Retold Inclusively

  Mary Shelley, Kath Shone

  Frankenstein was written in the Romantic literary period. The literary trend of the early 1800s produced poems that described how nature elevated and blissed human minds. Most literary work at this time was written and published by men. 
  In amongst these ecstatic reveries of nature, the 19 year old, Mary Shelley wedged the chilling story of Frankenstein into the literary landscape and our minds forever. 
  Her story filled an empty space in humankind's collective consciousness. That empty space was waiting for this story of over-reaching scientific madness. 
  This version of Frankenstein is a translation not an abridged telling. I have translated the Old Romantic era English into easy-to-read accessible English. 
  • The same characters say the same things at the same times in the story. 
  • Plot point for plot point the story stays the same. 
  • The themes are all preserved. 
  • The transcendent and brutal settings of the story are still on the pages. 
  • References to poems and other literature are explained. 
  • Supplementary information supports understanding of the text. 
  This book is for 
  • humans who like to read archetypal literature in easy-to-read language, 
  • neuro-diverse readers, 
  • young readers, 
  • English second language speakers, 
  • English literature students who need a study guide to unravel the original Frankenstein. 
  • anyone (I think that's most of us) who finds old English inaccessible but would like to read Frankenstein. 
  This accessible Frankenstein is part of Inclusive Books (Inc!Bs) journey to rewrite history inclusively.

  Grimdark

  Teetering on the edge of the North Sea in Norfolk, Grimdark Hall is both grim and dark in name and nature. When Cló and Jude Honeyborne arrive from Toronto to claim Jude's inheritance, Cló is unsettled by the foreboding ancient building and the hostility of Jude's sisters, who stalk her every move. 
   
   
   
  But Cló is drawn to the strange energy of the treacherous fens and the haunting sadness of a drowned village in the bay where ghostly church bells toll thirteen, sweeping her back into another woman's memories . . .  
   
   
   
  In 1645 Euphemia Figgis was accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake, screaming a curse on the Honeybornes as the flames consumed her. Now, flashes of Effie's life torment Cló at every turn. 
   
   
   
  Cló isn't the only one who's lived before:  an odd little girl lurks about Grimdark claiming to be the reincarnation of a notorious pirate, and waiting in the shadows is a darker, vengeful incarnation who has hunted them both through the centuries in search of a medieval treasure. 
   
   
   
  As echoes of Cló’s past lives converge in present threats, she must confront a final reckoning of old betrayals and relentless greed to end an eight-hundred-year-old quest for vengeance.
