A Monster’s Notes and Patchwork Girl

Romantic Circles, a refereed eJournal on the Romantic era, has an interesting note comparing Shelley Jackson’s Patchwork Girl to Laurie Sheck’s forthcoming novel, A Monster’s Notes.

It appears the novel shares some affinities with Shelley Jackson’s classic hypertext Patchwork Girl, both of which imagine face-to-face meetings between the creature and Mary Shelley and which project the creature into a postmodern world.
