Did you know that Mary Shelley was a teenager when she started writing Frankenstein in 1814? Or that England's most prolific goal scorer - man or woman - was superstar striker Lily Parr, who scored a staggering 997 goals between 1919 and 1951? When Kate Mosse launched the #WomenInHistory campaign, asking people to highlight women whose achievements have been overlooked by history, she received thousands of nominations from around the globe. The result is her new book, Feminist History For Every Day of the Year. In it, she celebrates the extraordinary achievements of activists, writers, scientists, politicians and others, some of whom are household names, and others who deserve to be better known. She sat down with broadcaster Shahidha Bari to share some of these incredible stories. They talked about the importance of putting women and girls back into history - including those with complicated or problematic views - and why rights are always fought for, never given, and need to be protected. Kate Mosse is a novelist and founder of the Women's Prize for Fiction and the Women's Prize for Non-Fiction. Feminist History For Every Day of the Year is out now. Learn more about your ad choices.

Tout ce que vous avez voulu savoir sur le genre littéraire du Steampunk avec l'essayiste Arthur Morgan, auteur de l'essai A Toute vapeur ! Le Steampunk en question. Coup de rétro sur le Steampunk Plébiscité depuis les année 2000 par les communautés numériques mais aussi par le fandom de l'imaginaire, le genre du Steampunk fêtera bientôt ses 40 ans. Lancé en 1987 par trois romanciers de fantasy et de science-fiction (James Blaylock, Tim Powers et K.W. Jeter), le terme steampunk (« punk à vapeur ») désigne des aventures naviguant entre les genres de l'imaginaire dans la révolution industrielle de l'époque victorienne. Inspiré par les oeuvres de Mary Shelley, Jules Verne et HG Wells mais aussi par d'autres oeuvres télévisuelles comme Les Mystères de l'Ouest ou graphique Le Démon des Glaces de Tardi, ce genre qui ne cesse d'évoluer avait déjà une proto-existence avant de connaître une définition. Arthur Morgan revient dans notre podcast sur les influences et l'évolution du Steampunk mais aussi sur la sympathique communauté des vaporistes. Hébergé par Ausha.

This pairing of stories linked to Mary Shelley's horror story Frankenstein was Richard's idea: in this episode the four part 4th Doctor story from early 1976 and Season 13 - The Brain of Morbius, which we'll pair next time with 2020's 13th Doctor outing The Haunting of Villa Diodati from Series 12. We'll decide whether these stories have animated us like a bolt of lightning or left us feeling like mouldering corpses. Joining Richard for the discussion are Gav, Giles and, eventually, Paul. Although there seems to be something up with Paul's voice at the start. Please like or share our podcast with people who will enjoy it, so we can build our listener base high for happiness. You can rate us directly on Apple Podcasts or Podchaser.com Gav's excellent YouTube series Terry Nation Army can be found here: https://youtube.com/user/Dalek6388. Also, next time you're in the North West, check out his new venture - West Kirby Escape Room: The Jurassic Factor westkirbyescaperoom.co.uk Head over to https://www.bigfinish.com/, where we all love Paul's stories. You can find his latest Companion Chronicle The White Ship here as part of the Families box set: https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/doctor-who-the-companion-chronicles-families-3001 Giles is a published author with many books, primarily related to science and astronomy. check out his work here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Giles-Sparrow/author/B001IXOESC, at all good bookshops, and a few bad ones too. Richard's other podcast "If It's Hurting, It's not Working" is currently on hiatus, but it's a fun and informative look at work - why we work, how we work, and what makes a great job. And also what makes a great workplace, how to turn things round when we're not enjoying our work and, in the end, how we can all make our work better. For all episodes, go to https://ifhurtnotwork.podbean.com/ and https://ifhurtnot.work. The Something Who logo, which features prominently on all our cover art was designed for us by Bea Garrido. She's a really talented artist, who you can find by following this link: https://beagarridoart.weebly.com/, where you can buy prints of some remarkable paintings of characters from Doctor Who. The opening music is Three Guitars Mood 2 and, yes, that is Richard playing the ukulele and kazoo on possibly the worst ever version of the Doctor Who theme tune at the end.

“Vedme aquí, el desdichado Prometeo, clavado y encadenado contra estas rocas, donde debo permanecer incontables años. Tal es el pago que recibo por haber amado a los mortales. He robado el fuego, su tesoro más preciado, y con él les he dado la ciencia que será la madre de todas las artes.” Esquilo s.V a.C Desde su publicación en 1818, "Frankenstein o el Moderno Prometeo" se ha visto como un texto visionario que trasciende el ámbito gótico para convertirse en piedra angular de la literatura moderna. Inauguró una reflexión profunda sobre el poder de la creación, la responsabilidad ética del conocimiento y la reflexión sobre lo que nos hace humanos. Mary Shelley se ha convertido en una escritora fundacional: "la madre de la ciencia ficción" que transformó la literatura al dar voz a un “monstruo” cuya complejidad emocional lo convierte en espejo de la humanidad.

En 1797 nació Mary Shelley, hija de un filósofo radical y de una pionera del feminismo. Entre tragedias personales, sueños inquietantes y la influencia del gótico y la alquimia, dio vida a Víctor Frankenstein: un moderno Prometeo que desafió los límites de la creación. Así nació no solo un monstruo literario, sino también la primera reflexión sobre ciencia, poder y transhumanismo.

This week, we're doing something a little different. Normally I'm the one asking the questions, but today, in the name of bringing new voices into the conversation, I'm handing the mic over to someone who usually works behind the scenes on the Lit With Charles podcast – Liv. In this episode, she speaks with British author Amy Twigg, whose fantastic debut Spoilt Creatures follows a 30-something woman as she joins an all-women commune in rural Kent, and falls down the rabbit hole in all that entails. I hope you enjoy it!Lit with Charles loves reviews. If you enjoyed this episode, I'd be so grateful if you could leave a review of your own, and follow me on Instagram at @litwithcharles. Let's get more people listening – and reading!Amy Twigg's four books were:Frankenstein, Mary Shelley (1818)I'll Be Gone in the Dark, Michelle McNamara (2018)Little Eyes, Samanta Schweblin (2018)The Haunting of Hill House, Shirley Jackson (1959)

Giorgio Rimondi"Leggere Frankenstein"Dal fantastico letterario alla queer theoryOrthotes Editricewww.orthotes.comCi sono molti modi di leggere Frankenstein. Si può privilegiarne la dimensione finzionale, coglierne il potenziale speculativo, valorizzarne le istanze (proto)femministe. Qui si è scelto di collegare la sua dimensione fantastica al dibattito sul potere della scienza (e della tecnologia a essa correlata), evidenziandone i risvolti psicoanalitici nonché i legami con la queer theory. Ciò, a partire dal fatto che alcuni ritengono di poter assimilare la «mostruosità» della creatura shelleyana alla condizione trans e, più in generale, ai temi della comunità LGBTQIA+.Si tratta di una lettura inedita, basata sulla convinzione che Frankenstein rappresenti una straordinaria – e preveggente – risposta alla tradizione del pensiero occidentale, che ha sempre inteso separare la techne dall'episteme, il problema della conoscenza da quello della tecnologia.Il Frankenstein di Mary Shelley è stato a lungo etichettato come il «libro di una donna». Ellen Moers lo descrive come un «mito femminile della nascita» che rivelerebbe l'ambivalenza dell'autrice nei confronti della maternità; Kate Ellis lo interpreta come una critica alla famiglia borghese e alla separazione fra sfera maschile e femminile; Sandra Gilbert e Susan Gubar sostengono che il romanzo descriva «l'alienazione di una donna in una società maschile», mentre Mary Poovey lo definisce un «mito dell'impotenza femminile» che giustifica l'incontrollabile desiderio espressivo dell'autrice.Giorgio Rimondi vive e lavora a Ferrara. I suoi percorsi di studio attraversano dimensioni disciplinari diverse, dalla letteratura alla musica transitando per la filosofia e la psicoanalisi. Fra le pubblicazioni più recenti si segnalano Le lacrime di Lacan (2020), L'invasione degli Afronauti (2022), L'impossibile necessario (2024).IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.
En 1816, un volcán afectó el clima de todo el planeta. Percy Shelley, Lord Byron, John William Polidori y una jovencísima Mary Wollstonecraft pasaron, gracias a a ello, un año sin verano en la Villa Diodati, teniendo así las condiciones perfectas para crear a dos poderosos monstruos de la literatura: El Vampiro y la Criatura de Frankenstein.
In this Fanbase Feature, The Fanbase Weekly co-host Barbra Dillon is joined by special guests Jessica Maison (writer, Mary Shelley's School for Monsters), David Accampo (writer – Fanbase Press' The Margins, Lost Angels, Spectral: A Showcase of Fear), and Rylend Grant (Ringo Award-winning writer – Evel Knievel, The Jump, publisher - Half Evil Comics) to participate in a thorough discussion regarding Teen Wolf (1985) in light of the feature film's 40th anniversary, with topics including the film's status in the horror genre, how it paved the way for horror comedy blends like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and more. (Beware: SPOILERS for Teen Wolf abound in this panel discussion!)

So if you need a new ebook this fall, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 266 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller and today is August 29th, 2025, and today we are considering if theme parks are like writing. Before we get into this topic, we'll have Coupon of the Week and then a progress update on my current writing projects. This week's coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in the Dragontiarna series at my Payhip store, and that coupon code is FALLDRAGON25. And as always, we'll have the coupon code and links in the show notes for this episode. This coupon code is only valid through September 8, 2025. That's only one week, so if you want to use it, act now. And if you need a new ebook for fall, we have got you covered. Now an update on my current writing projects. I am 63,000 words into Blade of Flames, the first book in my new epic fantasy Blades of Ruin series, and I think 63,000 words puts me about almost two thirds of the way through. I think the book will end up being between 90,000 and 100,000 words, so hopefully we are on track to have that out before the end of September. I'm also 5,000 words into Cloak of Worlds, which will be the 13th book in the Cloak Mage series. And if all goes well, I think that will probably be out in October, towards the end of October, maybe a Halloween book. In audiobook news, recording is still underway for Shield of Power (that will be excellently narrated by Brad Wills); we're coming up on the end of that, so should have some good news on that before too much longer. Recording is underway for Ghost in the Siege, and that will be excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy. So that is where I am at with my current writing and audiobook projects. Some good progress this week. 00:01:53 Main Topic: What Epic Universe Can Teach Us About Creating Memorable Characters Now on to our main topic this week: are theme parks like writing and what theme parks can teach us about creating memorable characters and settings. I have to admit, this is an unusual topic for me because I am not really a theme park person. I have several family members who are interested in the history of Disney Corporation, so I've picked up some through osmosis, but that's essentially it. This topic was suggested by my podcast transcriptionist, and it was an interesting idea, so I thought we would go with it. I don't really know all that much about theme parks. As I mentioned, I'm not really in the target audience and I'm not in the sort of demographic where I would watch, for example, someone's four hour live stream through the latest Disney attraction or whatever. Though I did watch the video that Jenny Nicholson put out last summer about her experience with the Star Wars “hotel”, and I think that was interesting as a piece of essentially documentary journalism depicting a tale of sort of corporate greed and cost cutting and how that can lead to inevitable failure. But that is a bit of a tangent from our main topic, which is whether or not writers can learn anything from theme parks. I did pick up enough through osmosis from the history of Disney to know that in the early days before the Disney Corporation became as sort of corporatized and cost cutting as is now, that when they built a new attraction, the attraction had to be able to tell a story, like there was some sort of a story that needed to be told or an essential narrative that needed to be followed through the layout of the attraction so the guests, if they were paying attention, would be told a story. So apparently the big news in the theme park universe this year is that Universal opened a new theme park called Universal Epic Universe in Florida in May 2025. The park is built on a central hub, which then divides out into five intellectual property based lands like Super Nintendo World with all of the Mario characters. What's interesting is that two of the five lands in the theme park are directly based on content that began as book series, the How to Train Your Island- Isle of Berk (which was originally written by Cressida Cowell) and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and the Ministry of Magic, which was originally written by J.K. Rowling. One other land, The Dark Universe, draws heavily on the Frankenstein story, which was originally written by Mary Shelley (among other creatures like Dracula, who as a character originated in Bram Stoker's novel in the 19th century). Now, what does this have to do with writing? I mean, for most writers, the idea of becoming popular enough that people build theme parks based on your characters is probably a bit unrealistic as a career goal. However, I think there are lessons that can be learned there for writers about holding the interest and compelling readers. All three of the intellectual properties we discussed previously were more often known for their movie adaptations than the books they were originally based upon. But we can learn what makes memorable characters and settings in the book series and how a theme park would draw upon a beloved book series to generate ticket, merchandise, and food sales. I think it is both fair to say and a profound understatement that books, movies, and theme parks are wildly different kinds of art forms. However, the fundamental principles of storytelling, of world building do seem to apply across all three. So let's take a look at some of those principles. Part I: Creating Fictional Worlds Memorably People like distinct and creative worlds that make them feel immersed in something beyond mundane reality, even if that reality is not safe, easy, or pleasant. In all three stories that inspire these theme parks, the main character faces something that no one has before. Harry Potter readers can imagine that they're an owl delivery letter away from arriving at a new school full of friends, magic, and danger. How to Train Your Dragon lets readers soar through the air while rescuing a lovable dragon from a dark fate. Dragon riders are considered to be a special group of people in this world. Frankenstein allows us to imagine a world where humans are powerful enough to have power over life and death itself, though in the grand tradition of science fiction and horror, this always goes horribly wrong. After all, creating an artificial life form did not end particularly well for Victor Frankenstein in the first book. And where this comes into theme parks is that readers want to find a way to be included in the fictional world. In Harry Potter, readers can imagine which house they're sorted into based on personality traits. By choosing a house in the Hogwarts school or magic wands whose components reflect their personalities, they feel more included in the story because they know where they would belong in it. Many, many, many young adult series since then have tried to include some sort of factions or special lands or organizations in their stories for this reason, but it never seems to land quite as well as it did in the Harry Potter series. Though to be honest, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry seems like it would be immediately shut down if any sort of educational authority or ministry of education or department of education ever investigated it because it (laughs) is not a well-run school. In How to Train Your Dragon, dangerous dragons are not only faced, they're befriended and protected. Something frightening becomes a chance to feel powerful and help others. And readers often enjoy reading about dark creatures or villains like Frankenstein's monster because it makes the real world seem more secure or stable by comparison or because they feel like misfits or outcasts and can sympathize with these characters. Now, for writers, specific world building details often are very distinct things that readers remember, sometimes even more than the plot. For myself, that's worked advantageously with several of my different settings where some of the distinct details of the Cloak Games settings or the Half-Elven Thief settings stick in people's minds. For the examples we're talking about here, some readers might remember a biting textbook, a flying broomstick, or what's on the Hogwarts banquet table more than they remember the plots of the individual Harry Potter movies or books. Now for the theme parks, Universal Studios capitalizes on this and makes money by creating merchandise and food items from those moments in the books, and they give visitors an opportunity to buy a nice cold glass of Butterbeer or a t-shirt from their Hogwarts house. And that feels more special than buying a pair of, for example, Mickey Mouse ears because they have a preexisting connection with Harry Potter, and though it's extremely unlikely that any of us will end up owning a theme park, as writers, don't be afraid of adding details like that, very specific details like that to the world building because it does help create a distinctive atmosphere and help the readers connect with the story. Part II: Investing Audiences in Your Characters Now onto part two, investing audiences in your characters. It's a good idea to find a way to make the readers root for your characters. Harry Potter and Toothless the dragon both begin as scrawny, unloved, and unimpressive, but they rise in the face of danger to become brave and important. When characters team up in a structured way, such as Dumbledore's Army or the creation of the Berk Training Academy, it gives the readers a chance to imagine how they could join the main characters and be part of the group. It's also important to remember a character doesn't have to be likable to be memorable, though obviously this often works better for villains. For example, Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter is a very memorable character, even though she's totally unsympathetic and unlikable because she represents a sort of bureaucratic, pettiness, and evil that we inevitably all have to deal with at some point in our lives, whether in school or dealing with various bureaucracies (whether government or corporate) as we get older. Frankenstein's creature likewise isn't always likable, though he is sympathetic because he didn't ask to be created. His creator mistreated him. He tried to fit into human society and totally failed. So while he does many morally reprehensible things like for example, murdering Victor Frankenstein's bride to be, nonetheless he retains an element of sympathy because if he's a monster, it's because Victor Frankenstein created him to be a monster. Even when his decisions aren't ideal or are quite bad, his loneliness and curiosity are still deeply relatable. Part III: Adapting To Grow With Your Audience Now, Part III, adapting to grow with your audience/adding new characters to an existing world or an interconnected series. Don't be afraid to age up your characters and change them across a series. In Harry Potter and How to Train Your Dragons, the characters age through series and face new and more complex challenges. Watching characters change is a great way to make them feel more lifelike and give them new complexities. I was reminded of that very recently with the publication of Ghost in the Siege, where I believe that is the 34th novel with Caina as the main character. Obviously she has changed and grown quite a bit since that first book all those years ago and some part of the plot was Caina coming to terms with how much she's changed and how much she's changed as a result of what she's had to do to save people she cares about, which is kind of an interesting comparison to the fact that I found it a bit challenging to write the book just because Caina has changed so much from her original start in trying to find a way to write that while remaining true to the character. Given how well the book has been received (thanks, everyone!), I think I might have landed on the mark for that one. If you want to continue in the world and write another series in the world, it's usually a good idea to include some carryover characters between the series. I've done that a lot with Frostborn, Sevenfold Sword, Dragontiarna, Dragonskull, and Shield War, where some characters continue over between the series. In the theme park, for example, in the Dark Universe, Dr. Victoria Frankenstein continues the work of her ancestor, Victor Frankenstein. That can also help to remind readers why they like the series so much by bringing back favorite characters. Returning to favorite locations in the series is a way to keep fans engaged, as long as it makes sense or fits the story. Give your books emotionally satisfying, not necessarily happy conclusions. Give them a chance to say goodbye to characters in places they've come to care about. Remember, the ending doesn't have to be happy. It doesn't have to be sad. It can be a bit of both. But what is important above all else is that the ending provides emotional resolution to the emotional conflicts and stakes raised within the story. Anything else and the readers will feel cheated. And now the conclusion. Fortunately, your readers won't have to wait in line for two hours to experience your characters the way that Epic Universe visitors must. But it's a testament to strong writing that people are willing to pay very large sums of money to do that, especially in Florida where the heat and the extreme humidity are constant, especially in summer. It's proof that well-developed settings, memorable characters, and immersive plots are important to readers and go a long way. Although you and I will probably not ever be theme park owners and I do not plan to ever go to Florida and go to Epic Universe, you can learn from how they build and maintain the relationship between their intellectual properties and their paying guests. Remember that you want compelling characters, a good story, and a satisfying conclusion. So that is it for this week. Thank you for listening to The Pulp Writer Show.

It's time for one of those huge episodes. Well, it's a 3 parter anyways. The 90s was a stinker of a decade for horror. That's what history tells us, well lets investigate our selves because the old saying goes that history is written by the victors and horror always wins. So what do I think was the very greatest horror movie that came out during 1994? Well, here we have the top 5. The worst 10. A slew of also rans.

On part à Venise, en Italie, où se tient jusqu'à samedi 6 septembre la 82ème Mostra. Le plus ancien festival de cinéma au monde fait la part belle aux productions américaines, notamment en compétition. On se souvient qu'en 2016, La La Land ouvrait le festival vénitien, Emma Stone remportait le prix d'interprétation féminine quelques mois avant la razzia aux Oscars. Les majors et les plateformes de streaming profitent du rendez-vous vénitien pour faire la promotion de leurs productions. De notre envoyée spéciale à Venise, Moins exposée que le festival de Cannes, idéalement programmée pour lancer la campagne des Oscars, la Mostra est devenue ces dernières années l'écrin rêvé pour les productions hollywoodiennes de prestige. Et notamment les films de plateformes qui peuvent ici concourir en compétition. Parmi les blockbusters d'auteurs en lice pour le Lion d'or : Frankenstein. Netflix a accordé un budget faramineux, 120 millions de dollars à Guillermo del Toro, pour revisiter ce classique de Mary Shelley : la création contre-nature d'un être humain à partir de cadavres. « On vit dans une époque de terreur et d'intimidation. Et pour moi la réponse, c'est l'amour et l'art en fait partie. La question que pose le roman, c'est : qu'est-ce qu'un être humain ? Il n'y a pas de tâche plus urgente que de préserver notre humanité. Mon film montre des personnages imparfaits et le droit d'être imparfaits », explique Guillermo del Toro. Ces films hollywoodiens questionnent tous la perte ou la quête de sens. Dans Jay Kelly, le réalisateur Noah Baumbach met en scène George Clooney en mégastar se rendant compte, à 60 ans passés, qu'il est bien seul dans la vie. « Quand vous faites un film sur un acteur, vous faites en réalité un film sur l'identité et la représentation, finalement la quête de soi, raconte le réalisateur. C'est ce que nous éprouvons tous : nous ne sommes pas les mêmes avec notre famille, nos amis ou nos collègues. Nous sommes différents personnages selon les situations. » Plus radical, mêlant science-fiction et satire de l'époque, Bugonia de Yorgos Lanthimos montre une Amérique en perte de sens. Deux Américains complotistes kidnappent une cheffe d'entreprise, campée par Emma Stone, qu'ils prennent pour une extraterrestre. Pour le réalisateur, déjà primé à Venise il y a deux ans, le propos est plus réaliste que dystopique : « Mon film reflète le monde réel. Tout ce que l'on voit dans le monde, l'intelligence artificielle, les guerres, le dérèglement climatique, c'est ce qui se passe en ce moment. » La Mostra doit encore présenter plusieurs gros calibres américains en compétition, comme le nouveau film de Kathryn Bigelow avec notamment Idris Elba, ou The Smashing Machine avec Dwayne Johnson, alias The Rock, dans un rôle à transformation comme les adore l'Académie des Oscars.

Achava que Frankenstein era só um monstro de parafuso na cabeça e filme preto e branco? Pois a criatura nasceu do tédio, de noites chuvosas e de um desafio entre gênios bêbados, drogados e brilhantes. Mary Shelley, com apenas 18 anos, transformou pesadelos, ciência e tragédias pessoais no primeiro romance de ficção científica da história.Entre vulcões que apagaram o verão, orgias literárias com Byron e Shelley, cadáveres exumados e a eterna pergunta sobre quem é o verdadeiro monstro — a criatura ou o criador —, esse episódio mostra que Frankenstein é muito mais do que terror barato.É sobre medo, desejo, poder e a sombra que a humanidade insiste em acender junto com sua própria luz.—------------------------------EDITORA PIU - https://www.editorapiu.com.br/frankensteinAPOIE o programa: APOIA.SE - https://apoia.se/nosnahistoriaSIGA-NOS no Instagram: @nosnahistoria_@buenasideias@lucianopotter @arthurdeverdadePatrocínio: TRADUZCA - https://www.traduzca.com/LIVROS INDICADOS NO EPISÓDIO - UM LIVRO - https://www.livrarianosnahistoria.com.br/Captação de áudio & vídeo, edição e finalização - https://www.instagram.com/studioprohub/
Let's go back to the 19th century and talk about one of the scariest novels we've ever read on the Classical Mind (but maybe not for the reasons you might think) with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. On this episode, Junius and Wesley discuss the different editions of this book before getting into some of its underlying philosophy like the responsibilities a creator has to their creatures and vice-versa, romanticism's critique of scientism, and the moral deterioration that results from sin. Join us as we dive deeply into the text and make some fun connections with other books we've read or will read in the Classical Mind program (we're looking at you J.R.R. Tolkien).
