MARY SHELLY (1797-1851) Author 24 CHESTER SQUARE, LONDON SW1 “When I found so astonishing a power placed within my hands, I hesitated a long time concerning the manner in which I should employ it.” (Mary Shelly - Frankenstein) “Frankenstein” can be seen as a warning to humanity - avoiding the urge to indulge in creating without fully understanding the implications was something that the young Mary highlights in the most terrifying of ways. Sadly, the horrors that she predicted in 1818 have come to pass and record companies continue to inflict Boybands on humanity with no thought to the outcome. Slowly the strains of Westlife and other miscreations of their kind are taking over the minds of the young and easily influenced. Those responsible would do well to listen to Frankenstein’s words; “… I remained during the rest of the night, listening attentively, catching and fearing each sound as if it were to announce the approach of the daemonical corpse to which I had so miserably given life.”
