At the age of 14, Mary Shelley attended a college in Ramsgate, Great Britain. It is in this setting that Annalisa Strada imagines the events, emotions, and stories that might have inspired Shelley to write the novel that would make her an immortal author: Frankenstein. In her story One Piece at a Time, Annalisa Strada leaves behind a trail of clues that nod to the horror genre — and above all, to the life and works of the iconic British writer.
- An original story inspired by Mary Shelley’s youth, rich with horror elements and subtle references to her most famous novel.
- Includes writing and analysis exercises to explore the language and techniques of horror storytelling — perfect for readers aged 10 and up.
