Tough Guy Book Club, 2023 - Fiction
Mary Shelley's chilling Gothic tale was conceived when she was only eighteen, living with her lover Percy Shelley on Lake Geneva. The story of Victor Frankenstein who, obsessed with creating life itself, plunders graveyards for the material to fashion a new being, but whose botched creature sets out to destroy his maker, would become the world's most famous work of horror fiction, and remains a devastating exploration of the limits of human creativity.

About the author (2023)

Tough Guy Book Club is a network of men's book clubs in local pubs.We're about reading books, hitting the pub with the goons, and rowdy conversations.Our club is about putting real decent conversations back in the pub.For too long the pokie machine, the jukebox, and the tv have left the men in our pubs a bunch of boring pricks with nothing to say.It's time to change that, let's put heavy duty discussion back on the table at the pub."How the hell is reading, you know, picking up a book and learning new shit, become something that's considered the opposite to toughness. I can assure you there is nothing tough about knowing less than the next guy. That's why ignorance is considered a weakness". - Shay Leighton
