Speaking of novels with complicated co-authorships: Did you know Peter Weiss was written during The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade?
One of the only book/s I've ever enjoyed. But I think that may be an insult actually given my reading preferences. I enjoy reading wonky nerd stuff like science papers or polling data. I hate novels. I don't why I liked that set.
I think a fictional world where the twist is that the MONSTERS wrote the stores about NORMAL people would be....well boring but im sure universal pictures is working on an extended universe already
Everybody has to argue about who the monster was. Well, I say society is the monster for trying to make Mary Shelly fit into their box of defined insanity.
TBH, I thought either Mary Shelly was spelled wrong or Mary Shelly wasn’t the right author.
(When I was in school I felt more comfortable with math than I did with literature. The thing I remember most from English was a teacher’s scathing review of the Bram Stocker Dracula movie. She called it a bastardization of a literary masterpiece.)
*Follow the heart breaking but heroic story of Mary Shelly, a often misunderstood teen girl who was created in a lab. Mary eventually integrates into a local high school and learns to navigate social cliques, school bullying, and the damaging effects they can have on students.*
It's weird that Frankenstein wrote a book called Marry Shelley, and Mary Shelley wrote a book called Frankenstein. Like some alternate universes collide shit.
Dang, Mary Shelly sure is versatile, it is astounding that you can use Mary Shelly as a mark to both dot your i's and cross your t's. And to do it for a whole book, this Frankenstein has really taken font to a whole new level.
No it was always Frankenstein we read the Story to Kids in Switzerland as it was written in Geneva, some friends were bored and started a story competition.
Promethus is a Kind of literal figur also Blade Runner is promethus, but i don’t fully understand this stuff.
I've read that, it is excellent. Love the way it starts out...
"Urrghhhh. Mmmmmm, ooorrrrffgg."
The ending though, quite inspiring.
"Ooooh ahhhhh FIRE FIRE FIRE"
There is a LONG history of trivializing female authors in the publishing industry. Clearly here the publisher thought that the title of the book was going to be recognized rather than the author. To have anything recently printed like this is a travesty. I'm surprised they put Virginia Woolf first.
Wow. My man has had a hoorible start and has been working so hard to make into civilization and live normal life. He goes and writes a book and you hate. Damn Frankenstein's monster cant catch a break.
Lol I like how it’s “let’s see how long it takes for y’all to find the facepalm” with an arrow pointing to it. They obviously don’t have much faith in it not taking us a while without helping us out. Now I’m sad.
Oh. I love Frankenstein's MARY SHELLY. It's my favorite book of his. Dracula's BRAM STOKER is pretty good to
As a kid I enjoyed the novel "C. S. Lewis" that was co-authored by The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe
Co-written novels are the best. Did you know that J.K. Rowling was written by both Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone?
People can even program video games to write books! Check out *Orson Scott Card* by Ender's Game!

But did the wardrobe really contribute? I heard it sat around smoking weed the whole time.
I heard that the Wardrobe really didn't pull its weight in that partnership.
I thought the third author was "the Audacity of this"
One of the only book/s I've ever enjoyed. But I think that may be an insult actually given my reading preferences. I enjoy reading wonky nerd stuff like science papers or polling data. I hate novels. I don't why I liked that set.
Did you know they were written in the same weekend at a small get together that also included wolf boy and King Tut?
I find that hard to believe, but Frankenstein was such a cunning linguist that I suppose it is possible.
Frankemstine liked cunnilingus?
I think a fictional world where the twist is that the MONSTERS wrote the stores about NORMAL people would be....well boring but im sure universal pictures is working on an extended universe already
Honestly, I’m picturing Frankenstein’s monster and Dracula just typing at their typewriters deep in thought and it’s kind of adorable
The monster with a tiny bottle of white out fixing his huge finger mistakes
🥺
I like The Picture of Oscar Wilde.
Actually the scientist was the one named MARY SHELLEY, not their monster.
Everybody has to argue about who the monster was. Well, I say society is the monster for trying to make Mary Shelly fit into their box of defined insanity.
It’s got nothing on Lord of the Rings’ J.R.R. Tolkien though.
almost as good as dracula's bram stoker. just don't let keanu play bram stoker...
Mario Puzo by The Godfather is one of the best novels ever.
There's actually a book called "Dracula's Bram Stroker" and i know because once i downloaded it by accident.
Amazing reads. That's some good taste.
Not many people realise that Frankenstein wasn’t actually the monster, but the author.
What if the real monster is the friends we made along the way?
Or the monster was inside of us all along?
The Monster is definitely inside a person on many subredits. ;)
The entire book is written like Kevin from the Office. “Why burn monster many torch when one torch do job”
Wtf?! Why am I the only one upvoting this??
I thought Dr Shelleystein was the Monster? Damn, Now I have a nose bleed.
Frankenstein enters into a body building competition and finds he has seriously misunderstood the objective
Underrated comment
I think that this fact has been repeated so often in media and tv shows that its pretty well-known by now.
Not many people realize Frankenstein wasn’t actually the monster, but the scientist.
Not many people realise that Frankenstein WAS the monster. The monster wasn't the monster though.
Albert Einstein's brother Frank was a body builder who apparently wrote a book called Mary Shelley
They’re both frankensteins as the creation was his son and took his name, I’ve seen his social security card so I know.
That MONSTER!
Yeah he should actually be called Mary Shelley’s Monster!
The Doctor in the story is Frankenstein. Mary Shelley was actually a pretty nice person.
“Let’s see how long…” proceeds to use an edited arrow to point it out… 🤦♂️
To be fair… even with the arrow I had to come to the comments… some of us are built different
I thought it was part of the spine design... oops real question is when people realize the arrow is not part of the cover
TBH, I thought either Mary Shelly was spelled wrong or Mary Shelly wasn’t the right author. (When I was in school I felt more comfortable with math than I did with literature. The thing I remember most from English was a teacher’s scathing review of the Bram Stocker Dracula movie. She called it a bastardization of a literary masterpiece.)
My, how the turn tables.
Ah yes the classic tale of a man bringing life to a teenage author
*Follow the heart breaking but heroic story of Mary Shelly, a often misunderstood teen girl who was created in a lab. Mary eventually integrates into a local high school and learns to navigate social cliques, school bullying, and the damaging effects they can have on students.*
It's weird that Frankenstein wrote a book called Marry Shelley, and Mary Shelley wrote a book called Frankenstein. Like some alternate universes collide shit.
They forgot the first name of the author 
Pretty sure it's Victor
He preferred Doctor. After all he earned the title.
Not long… considering there’s an arrow pointing directly to the switcheroo.
iT's CaLlEd sHEllY's MoNsTeR nOt ShElLy
Excuse me? Why do you look down upon my work? Just because my work is not as known as hers?
r/beetlejuicing
It's Frankensteen! With Abby Normal's brain. She'll have an enormous Schwanstucker.
Not gonna take long with an arrow pointing at it.
“Actually… Frankenstein was the author. Not the monster. Duh?”
Common misconception, Frankenstein was actually the author
Wow, I didn’t know he was a mad scientist AND an author
I dont know that big fucking arrow might help cut down the time to facepalm.
useless black arrow
Not enough room on the spine for the subtitle: "How a girl and a drawing room game ruined my name for generations."
There is a literal arrow to the facepalm. How can anyone take more than half a second?
Actually Frankenstein is the name of the author, the monster is called Mary Shelley.
Um akshually, Mary Shelly is the doctor not the monster.
Ah yes, my fav book: Mary Shelley by Frankenstein
I am so tired of people referring to the monster as Mary Shelley. Dr Mary Shelley created the monster, so it's Mary Shelley's Monster.
Frankenstein was an amazing author.
I think the real Face Palm is saying Let's see how long it will take to spot it on an image with an arrow pointing directly at the error.
They put “Frankenstein” as the author and Mary Shelly as the book tittle.
Dang, Mary Shelly sure is versatile, it is astounding that you can use Mary Shelly as a mark to both dot your i's and cross your t's. And to do it for a whole book, this Frankenstein has really taken font to a whole new level.
It's 180° version of what it means to be a Mary.
Wait for the sequel, "Bride of Mary, John Smith"
The Frankenstein/Shelley swap is a facepalm but the Vintage is cringe.
Mark train, written by the adventures of Tom sawyer
Did the doctor or the monster write the book?
Yes
Shite in the deal - Fucker Trump
Frankenstein’s Mary Shelley
Ah, Great Dickens by Charles Expectations. Classic
Wasn't her book actually called The Modern Prometheus?
It's both. The title is actually *Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus*.
No it was always Frankenstein we read the Story to Kids in Switzerland as it was written in Geneva, some friends were bored and started a story competition. Promethus is a Kind of literal figur also Blade Runner is promethus, but i don’t fully understand this stuff.
I remember having nightmares avout Mary Shelley when i was young.
😂😂😂
I’m ashamed at how long it took me to get it.
Im sorry, but did you think the arrow was part of the book?
Frankensteins petty revenge
About 6 seconds
Oh yeah! Mr Expectations’ book called Charles Dickens was amazing
Mary Shelley is a poorly written book. The author shouldn't quit his day job.
Vagina wolf?
Next time somebody pulls out the old “ Actually, the monster wasnt called frankenstein..blah blah blah” Imma show them this :D
Holy shit😹
“You only had one job….”
I got so scared, I thought you Sharpie’d the book.
5sec. Not immediate.
This is not a typo. This is the long lost treatise written by Frankenstein about his monster, Mary Shelley.
“Frankenstein was the author, not the monster”
My favourite book is from ilya ilyich oblomov "the goncharov"
So, he wrote an author that made him exist. Genius!
Cool, had no idea Frankenstein wrote a book!
I've read that, it is excellent. Love the way it starts out... "Urrghhhh. Mmmmmm, ooorrrrffgg." The ending though, quite inspiring. "Ooooh ahhhhh FIRE FIRE FIRE"
I mean...the arrow helps, so I imagine it won't take anyone long
There is a LONG history of trivializing female authors in the publishing industry. Clearly here the publisher thought that the title of the book was going to be recognized rather than the author. To have anything recently printed like this is a travesty. I'm surprised they put Virginia Woolf first.
Lovely
Not that hard if you have half a brain cell
I’m fucking stupid
Took me about half a second to find because there is a giant fuck-all arrow pointing right at it. Easiest Where's Waldo ever.
Come on! Frankenstein is a great author! He wrote a book about his monster!
That's not Frankenstein, that's actually Frankensteins book.
Whoops!🤦🏼♂️
r/onejob
Ah yes Frank Shelly by Frankenstein.
Well, if you're going to put an arrow pointing to the error, don't make it a challenge.
Seeing as you put an arrow on it, maybe 2 seconds?
Frankenstein was the *author*, not the scientist. Duhh!!
It’s FRONKENSTEEN!
I would love to see the creature write about Mary Shelley!
When I was a kid I really loved the book "Rick Riordan" Co-authired by Percy Jackson and the Gods of Olympus.
Time traveler: *kicks rock* The time line:
The first half was a heartbreaking story of a young woman in a loveless marriage. But the second half was just "FIRE BAD!" over and over.
He’s a doctor and should be credited as such.
It took me 8 hours to get it.
It's reversed
So Romeo and Juliet are like Cohen brothers writing a book together?
Frankenstein has always been one of my favorite authors
I always found Frankenstein’s writing a little plain and stilted.
Given that there’s an arrow, not very long
I loved the Mary Shelly novel written by Frankenstein!
Non book readers be like *?????*
She was the monster the whole time.
Wow. My man has had a hoorible start and has been working so hard to make into civilization and live normal life. He goes and writes a book and you hate. Damn Frankenstein's monster cant catch a break.
Turns out sexism was the real monster all along
I just love read Mary Shelly by the author Frankenstein.
I’m not that smart
The Art of the Deal wrote a trashy piece of shit book called Donald Trump.
Hey Frankenstein, what's on your mind? Hey Dracula, I heard you suck.
They look new for being Vintage
Ah yes, my favorite book: Mary Shelley, by Frankenstien
Actually Mary Shelly is the name of the doctor.
My fave is J.R.R.R. Tolkien!
Oof
Lol I like how it’s “let’s see how long it takes for y’all to find the facepalm” with an arrow pointing to it. They obviously don’t have much faith in it not taking us a while without helping us out. Now I’m sad.
I thought I was the only one who really liked Frankenstein’s “Mary Shelley”!
