"Amy Weldon's latest novel is a stunning work that combines the deep knowledge of a literary historian alongside the artistry of a very gifted writer. The interior world of Mary Shelley is brought to life and we're swept along by the undercurrents of her unconventional life. While Shelley's most famous novel, Frankenstein, is known to many, Weldon here offers a brilliant illumination of Shelley herself. This is a captivating novel that not only brings the early 1800s to vivid life, but also makes us see Mary Shelley anew."
—Patrick Hicks author of The Commandant of Lubizec and Across the Lake

“Deeply researched and even more deeply felt, Weldon's Creature: A Novel of Mary Shelley and Frankenstein is a universe. The story travels through history, literature, and myth, and speaks across the centuries of love and death, gender and possibility, the mystery of family and the power of story. I was enthralled.” 
—Joe Wilkins, author of The Entire Sky and Fall Back Down When I Die
