🎂 Happy Birthday, Mary Shelley! 🖋️

Born August 30, 1797, Mary Shelley changed literature forever when she introduced the world to Victor Frankenstein and his unforgettable creation.

Her groundbreaking novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus explored ambition, science, responsibility, and what it means to be human. More than 200 years later, her story is still inspiring readers, writers, filmmakers, and anyone who loves a good gothic tale.

Here’s to the woman who gave us one of literature’s most famous monsters. ⚡📚
