Frankenstein according to Riley Walter
pdf link to my copy of Frankenstein according to Riley Walter. It's actually the exact same edition and publisher as the first one by Jackie Turner so the page numbers and book dimensions are exactly the same, which is a relief

Frankenstein according to Jackie Turner
Here's the link to the 212 page book I threw together. I got a copy of Frankenstein at a used book store and there was a name written on the front cover, Jackie Sarah Turner, and these are her underlines and notes. I took as much care as I could to place the text exactly where it was in the original book, down to where words break and where chapter titles go. The handwritten notes I just moved to the bottom of the page they appear on and cited them as footnotes, rather than try to recreate her handwriting.
I tried to find and get ahold of whatever Jackie Turner was closest to the north shore area and I found one and sent her a message on facebook about a week and a half ago or so but she never got back to me so I'm going to assume she won't because it's weird that I have her book and wanted to talk to her about it.

Elizabeth had caught the scarlet fever; her illness was severe, and she was in the greatest danger. During her illness many arguments had been urged to persuade my mother to refrain from attending upon her. She had first yielded to our entreaties, but when she heard that the life of her favourite was menaced, she could no longer control her anxiety. She attended her sickbed; her watchful attentions triumphed over the malignity of the distemper - Elizabeth was saved, but the consequences of this imprudence were fatal to her preserver.

How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe, or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care I had endeavored to form? His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful! Great God! His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same color as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips.
The different accidents of life are not so changeable as the feelings of human nature. I had worked hard for nearly two years, for the sole purpose of infusing life into an inanimate body. For this I had deprived myself of rest and health. I had desired it with an ardour that far exceeded moderation;
