  Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus is an 1818 novel written by English author
  Mary Shelley. Frankenstein tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist
  who creates a sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley
  started writing the story when she was 18, and the first edition was published
  anonymously in London on 1 January 1818, when she was 20 Her name first
  appeared in the second edition, which was published in Paris in 1821
  Shelley travelled through Europe in 1815, moving along the river Rhine in
  Germany, and stopping in Gernsheim, 17 kilometres (11 mi) away from
  Frankenstein Castle, where, two centuries before, an alchemist had engaged in
  experiments. She then journeyed to the region of Geneva, Switzerland, where
  much of the story takes place. Galvanism and occult ideas were topics of
  conversation for her companions, particularly for her lover and future husband
  Percy B. Shelley. In 1816 Mary, Percy and Lord Byron had a competition to see who
  could write the best horror story. After thinking for days, Shelley was inspired to
  write Frankenstein after imagining a scientist who created life and was horrified by
  what he had made.
