EMC offers “spooktacular” reads for your students!

Looking for a way to bring the Halloween spirit into your classroom? EMC has many spooky tales to engage your students this Halloween season. One of our favorites here at EMC is the classic, Frankenstein:

“It was a dreary night of November that I beheld the accomplishment of my toils…[B]y the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs.”

This is how Victor Frankenstein describes his creation, the most famous fiend in the history of horror fiction. Today, over one hundred and eighty years after it was written, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus remains the most widely known and influential example of Gothic Romance. More than a horror story, Frankenstein explores the timeless themes of creation and responsibility.
