If Frankenstein made you ponder the ethics of creation and the responsibilities of the creator, you'll find Never Let Me Go deeply resonant. Ishiguro’s novel explores the lives of children at Hailsham, who slowly come to realize their tragic purpose. Like Victor Frankenstein and his Creature, the characters wrestle with questions of identity, the soul, and the consequences of scientific advancement, prompting you to reflect on what it truly means to be human.

If you were fascinated by Victor Frankenstein’s questionable choices and the blurred line between good and evil in Frankenstein, you’ll be gripped by The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Stevenson’s novella follows Dr. Jekyll as he experiments with splitting his own nature, leading to catastrophic consequences. Both stories force you to confront the shadowy aspects of human morality and the complex motivations behind scientific pursuits.

If you appreciated the intense focus on Victor and his Creature—their isolation, obsessions, and inner turmoil—in Frankenstein, you’ll be captivated by Merricat Blackwood’s haunting perspective in We Have Always Lived in the Castle. Jackson’s novel immerses you in the claustrophobic world of Merricat and her sister, exploring psychological depth and the effects of ostracization with chilling intimacy.

If you enjoyed the use of letters and personal journals in Frankenstein, you’ll be drawn to The Yellow Wallpaper. Told through the protagonist’s journal entries, this novella offers a gripping descent into psychological distress, much like the confessional, fragmented narratives that shape Frankenstein. The epistolary form crafts a sense of immediacy and intimacy, pulling you deep into the narrator’s unraveling mind.

If you found the layered storytelling in Frankenstein—pieced together from letters and accounts—compelling, then Dracula will enthrall you. Stoker’s classic unfolds through a tapestry of journal entries, letters, and newspaper clippings from multiple characters, providing rich perspectives and building suspense as the horror of Count Dracula grows ever closer.
