This image shows a blackout poetry piece created on a page of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”. The background is predominantly drawn over in red and black markers, with visible brushstrokes. Select words and phrases have been left visible and highlighted in red, creating a new poetic message against the dark background. Gothic and creepy images have been pasted across the obscured text.

goodness I
smile
yet
murder
My father he
is guilty
this torture I could not refuse

I was very wretched
miserable I am
And do you
condemn me
why do you
believe
your

absolution
I
the monster that he said I was
continue
evil
