[close] The (Mostly) Dead Writers Society is a group for readers who enjoy books that have been around for a while, written by authors who have shuffled off this mortal coil. We have "mostly" in the group name, though, because there is room here for discussion about all books and authors. This isn't just a another classics group - readers of vintage genre fiction are also welcome to make this place their home. We are group of enthusiastic readers who love to talk about all things bookish. Welcome!

[close] Welcome to the official sanctuary for readers who seek the heartbeat of philosophy within the shadows of gothic horror.This group is a dedicated space to explore the radical reimagining of Mary Shelley’s masterpiece through the universe of "Frankenstein: The Three Metamorphoses." Here, the bond between Victor Frankenstein and his creation is stripped of its physical decay to reveal its deepest spiritual, metaphysical, and mythological essence.Together, we dive into a metaphysical abyss—a journey through an obsession that inextricably binds the creator to his own dark reflection, blurring the lines between the dreamer and the dream. Through the veil of ancient archetypes, our discussions transcend the limits of the flesh to explore the forbidden fire of a modern Prometheus, the carnal longing of Pygmalion, and the tormented fusion of Hermaphroditus.If you believe that the demon is not a creature lurking in the woods, but the haunting voice whispering from the shadows of our own psyche, you have found your home. Join us for deep literary analysis, exclusive author updates, and profound debates on gothic literature.
