Scary stuff! Whether approached as the first horror story or a "serious imaginative exploration of the human condition," Frankenstein continues to engage readers. Here's a packet of activities that uses Mary Shelley's gothic novel to launch an examination of supernatural tales. Stories by Nathaniel Hawthorne and Edgar Allan Poe offer groups an opportunity to examine the distinguishing features of this genre.
