&lt;br /&gt;Mary Shelley: The Eternal Dream is an expressively illustrated fictional account of the life of writer Mary Shelley, as told by her famous invention, Frankenstein’s monster. With cameos by a variety of other famous writers and historical figures, this graphic novel is perfect for fans of literary and feminist history.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The extraordinary life of the woman who created one of fiction’s most enduring characters: Frankenstein’s monster. Born at the turn of the 19th century to the famous philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft (forerunner of the feminist movement) and William Godwin (novelist and radical politician), Mary Shelley lived a life in constant flight from social conformity. Her struggle birthed a pop culture phenomenon. Now in print for the first time in English, Mary Shelley: The Eternal Dream chronicles Shelley’s relationships with other important artists and writers, including her eventual husband Percy Shelley, and the ‘butterfly effect’ of love, hardship, tragedy, and inspiration that led to the creation of the infamous monster.&lt;/p&gt;

Major Spoilers Podcast #1152: Death Gets Downsized

<description>This week on the Major Spoilers Podcast, we review &lt;i&gt;Stranger Things Season 5 (Part 1)&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Doctor Strange #1&lt;/i&gt;, and &lt;i&gt;Venom #252&lt;/i&gt; before diving into one of the most surprising and effective horror books of the year: &lt;em&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;p class="p1"&gt;We explore tone, character empathy, anthropomorphism, the ethics of serial-killer storytelling, narrative framing, and why this deceptively cute woodland setting hides some of the most unsettling violence in comics today.&lt;/p&gt;

After becoming Sorcerer Supreme of Asgard, Strange lost his chance at redemption - and revenge against Doom - when Loki murdered Thor, cutting Midgard off from the other nine realms. With no way home and few allies remaining in Asgard, Strange travels to Alfheim to investigate an emerging crisis. But in an unfamiliar land, can Strange prevent elves and angels from going to war over a mysterious coffin? Maybe with some help from Heven's own ANGELA! Derek Landy and Ivan Fiorelli join forces for a bold, new era of Doctor Strange that will take him on a true JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY…

&lt;p&gt;So you can imagine her indignation when one of Woodbrook’s own meets a grisly, mysterious demise—and you wouldn’t blame her for doing anything it takes to hunt down her rival before the town self-destructs and Sheriff Patterson starts (literally) barking up the wrong tree.&lt;/p&gt;

Stranger Things S5, Doctor Strange #1, Venom #252, and a deep dive into Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees.

This week on the Major Spoilers Podcast, we review Stranger Things Season 5 (Part 1), Doctor Strange #1, and Venom #252 before diving into one of the most surprising and effective horror books of the year: Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees.

We explore tone, character empathy, anthropomorphism, the ethics of serial-killer storytelling, narrative framing, and why this deceptively cute woodland setting hides some of the most unsettling violence in comics today.
