Beyond the Page with Emily Franklin

Beyond the Page invites you to a captivating evening with Emily Franklin, the bestselling author of The Lioness of Boston. Join us as she unearths the story behind her newest novel, Love & Others Monsters, in conversation with fellow author and award-winner, Ben Shattuck. 

The untold origin story of Frankenstein, a feminist reckoning of sisters, survival, and the creation of monsters… 

Love & Other Monsters is the story of Claire Clairmont, the younger stepsister of Frankenstein author, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. It was Claire who, during one stormy and scandalous summer, changed the course of literature —only to be forgotten by history. 

Step behind the scenes with Franklin and Shattuck as they delve into a story of love, lust, art, and betrayal.
