    Season 2 Episode 10 / A Study In Empathy

    The creature tells Frankenstein its tale. There are three levels of empathy in this chapter. First, Frankenstein listens and imagines what it's like to be in the creatures boots. Second, the creature feels the feelings of the angry villagers and the sad, crying girl at the cottage – dunno if he actually has mirror neurons, but her tears actually cause him such discomfort that he turns away. And third, Mary Shelley imagines so clearly what it might be like to be an outsider, a voyeur on the simplest moments of everyday life. Whoa.

    Season 2 Episode 9/ More Awesome Than Bigfoot

    Viktor Frankenstein goes for a walk in nature. He's trying to clear his head, to get back in touch with the amazingness of everything that surrounds us and creates a context for life. IMHO we all need that. But then guess who shows up? I'd call it the monster, but "it" and "monster" don't capture the sensitivity – the humanity – with which he appeals to Viktor. All he wants is to be heard. Isn't that what we all want?

    Season 2 Episode 8/ Shock & Awe

    Viktor is tormented by the idea that his monster killed his little brother and a beloved, innocent woman was falsely accused, wrongly convicted, and executed because of the murder. In dark moments such as these, it's understandable that he wants to be alone and end his madness. But connecting with Elizabeth and the majesty of nature brings Viktor back to his senses... and wraps our last short episode before we dive deep into the belly of the Frankenstein beast. Join us for a journey to hurt and beyond.

    Season 2 Episode 5/ My Baby She Wrote Me A Letter

    Once upon a time, authors moved plots long without chases or explosions or orgasms. Now, I'm the last person to speak out against a good chase or explosion or orgasm, but those events are all the more compelling when the audience cares about the characters. And even in this day and age, there's nothing like a letter to let us into someone's thoughts and feelings. Read along with Victor as his sister sends news from home, and join me in my dread at the end of the episode – how could everything be this damn happy in a book about monsters and madness??

    LIT AF / The Riff 004: Honestly

    Welcome back to the LIT AF Riff. The Riffs are shorter episodes of LIT AF – no novels or interviews, just my unfiltered, unrehearsed thoughts on what's going on in the world and how we can tell a better story about it with Open-Source Learning. In this Riff: Honestly? Uh huh. If you were honest 100% of the time you'd never need to start a sentence that way.
