That's right, Mary "Frankenstein" Shelley.
Mary's little story, written on holiday near Geneva, Switzerland, has become one of the greatest monster stories of all time. For nearly two centuries, Mary's "Modern Prometheus" has captured our imaginations both on the page and on the screen.

But I think it was Peter Boyle who pushed him over the top.
