What does Mary Shelley call her work?

  • Memory paintings

  • Picture diary or picture story

  • Emotion carvings

  • Time freeze paintings

Answer

Mary Shelley famously referred to her work not as a novel but as a "picture story" or "picture diary." Essentially, she conceived of her creation as a visual journey that evoked vivid imagery and emotion rather than a traditional written narrative. This unique approach to storytelling captures the imaginative spirit of the Gothic genre and distinguishes Shelley's work as an innovative and enduring contribution to literature.
