Centering around the stories of the women in Victor Frankenstein's life, Unnatural Creatures breathes new life into the original gothic tale. It is beautifully written and atmospheric, and I can imagine many people turning to this in the fall as it seems to be a perfect spooky season read. I love retellings that focus on women's perspectives, and Unnatural Creatures is full of strong, resilient women that I loved reading about!
