Dracula Daily is making a lot of people interested in reading Frankenstein as well and as someone with a certain level of scholarly expertise on the subject it is my strong suggestion that if you do, you read the 1818 version of the text. The other version, the 1831 version, is more common but is pretty heavily revised from Mary Shelley’s original 1818 version and vision of the text, even going so far as to include material that changes major themes of the book entirely (such as the 1831 text’s new emphasis on fate and destiny as opposed to failure and consequences). the 1818 version also contains a lot more scathing subject matter about the Frankenstein family, its insularity, its class, etc., and is generally the much more rewarding version for hungry sickos so yeah just my helpful opinion
