And, with clear, set fees, it was simple to work with administrators as well as budget for future transfers.” The left half of the image is solid red with JSTOR’s logo and the quote, while the right half features a black and white scanned manuscript page filled with sketches of human heads, numbers, Hebrew letters, and handwritten annotations.

Guillermo del Toro’s #Frankenstein arrives on Netflix today, but the creature’s first spark was lit on a stormy night in 1816. ⚡

At the Villa Diodati, a ghost story challenge gave rise to Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" novel, changing #literature forever.

The engraving shows a dimly lit, gothic interior where Victor Frankenstein recoils in terror as his creation begins to stir. The creature lies partly upright on the floor, muscular and lifeless-looking, surrounded by bones and an open book. Behind them, an arched window casts faint light into the laboratory, revealing shelves of jars and scientific instruments. Frankenstein, cloaked and wide-eyed, clings to the open door as if ready to flee from the scene of his own creation.
