In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

I Have This to Scream... 

Wandering through Trilogy tonight, I saw an ad for Dean Koontz's Frankenstein. I swear my brains and eyes and sense just about popped out of my...head. I was nearly apoplectic (or apocalyptic, whichever). Dean Koontz DID NOT write Frankenstein. Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein. MARY SHELLEY WROTE FRANKENSTEIN. MARY SHELLEY WROTE FRANKENSTEIN. MARY SHELLEY WROTE FRANKENSTEIN. MARY SHELLEY WROTE FRANKENSTEIN. MARY SHELLEY WROTE FRANKENSTEIN. Who do you think you are, Mr. Koontz? Walt Freaking Disney? You're a writer; you should know better.

Shame, shame, shame.

Hey, Mary Shelley's Frankie was inspiration for The Jigsaw Woman, so I'm quite protective of her. (No, I'm not shilling by giving you that last link; just thought you might be interested in what some brilliant readers and some less shiny readers had to say about it. Brilliant means they liked it; less shiny means they haven't seen the light of my brilliance yet....Oh, don't take offense; I kid the less shiny.)
