About this event

The worst monsters are the human kind . . .

Join us for an unforgettable evening with Mairi Kidd, the bestselling author of The Specimens, on Wednesday 22nd October, at 7pm, as we celebrate the release of her compelling new novel, which delves into the complex and haunting world of a young Mary Godwin, the brilliant mind who would go on to birth Frankenstein's monster.

Dundee, 1812. Isabel Baxter awaits the arrival of Mary Godwin, a girl of precocious intellect and grand passions, sent north to cure a mysterious ailment. Nestled in woodland on the banks of the Tay, the Baxter family home seems a perfect place for a troubled girl to recuperate. But The Cottage is a place of secrets, memories . . . and monsters.

We know Mary Shelley as the girl who wrote Frankenstein, but there are great holes in the fabric of her story.
