52. Frankenstein (1818) by Mary Shelley

Whenever Victor Frankenstein tests the limits of what science can do with a mishmash of various human body parts, he creates a monster that he becomes disgusted with. Grieved with tts rejection by its creator, the monster seeks love and acceptance leaving a trail of destruction and murder across Europe. We're asking the tough questions.
