Status Updates From Mary Shelley Horror Stories...

There are books that feel like a mental work-out, and I feel like this is going to be one of those, but I need something with an extremely low difficulty setting right now.

I don't know if I'm becoming more stupid or impatient as I get older, or have read too much rubbish lately, but I'm on the first page of Frankenstein and I feel like English is a second language to me. It's not.
What in the wordy HELL is this!? I feel like my patience for classics is getting thinner by the year. Girl, I only have so many Earthly hours, please just say what you mean.

Read "The Mortal Immortal," about a man who rushed to conclusions about his love, tried to drink a chemical elixir to remove love from his mind, but actually drank a chemical elixir that made him functionally immortal insofar as aging goes (but can still be killed by other means).
