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.
