That's cool. I especially liked the bit about Mary Shelley and her mates competing to write the scariest story. Can you imagine the conspiracy bs you'd have to hear if something like that happened now? I know more than one person who are bummed out because they genuinely believe the world is ending next year. If the climate started doing seriously weird stuff conspiracy nutters would be unbearable.
