We have come to the end of a story a day and the month of October. Starting Thursday, we will publish three stories a week with releases every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Philip K. Dick returns to the podcast in two days.
Now for the oldest story we have ever narrated and the author who many believe wrote the first true work of science fiction.
Mary Shelley was born in London in 1797. She did not have an easy life. Her mother died 11 days after giving birth to her. Her father remarried but she and Mary didn’t get along. IN 1814 Mary began a romance with one of her father’s political followers, Percy Shelley, even though he was already married. She and Perry faced ostracism, constant debt and the death of their prematurely born daughter.
Mary Shelley is best known for her novel Frankenstein which was originally released anonymously on the first of January 1818. Why was it published anonymously? Because she was afraid that the nature of the subject matter would cause such an outrage if written by a woman that she would lose her children. At the time it would have been very shocking for a woman to write a novel about murder and horror.
In addition to several novels, Shelley wrote more than 20 short stories. This is the first, but will not be the last time you will hear one of her stories on our podcast.
First published in 1833 in The Keepsake, The Mortal Immortal by Mary Shelley…
