Monster Mash ·

was this his first crime?

An depiction of a cat pushing a vase off of a table, painted across a page of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein". Select words of the original text have been left visible to create a new poetic message against the art piece.

By Lauren Lincoln

was this his first crime?

destroy all that was dear to me.

the strange nature of the animal would elude
all pursuit,

  • Next let me taste
  • Previous beautiful figures
