They got a lot of things right about this, but not any of the stuff about Mary Shelley. I’m not defending the woman. I don’t know her obviously. I just feel like this could’ve been written about any author who gets possessed by a story. I guess they just had to play on the name. Anyway, pretty drawn out. I wouldn’t even call it a slow burn because I was pretty sleepy through most of it. There was no burn.
