Thanks for listening to the Lamppost in the Woods - Episode 4.5 - Jurassic Park & The Scarlet Letter

In this episode, the team discusses what many consider the birth of science fiction (and the birth of a monster), Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the original story of an overreaching scientist and his tragic creation. Through many cultural changes, retellings, and iterations, the source material is still the most unsettling version of the story.

Join us as we explore the themes of ethics, morality, and shocking realization that this may in fact be the first Young Adult Fiction novel ever written.
