Frankenstein the Monster! Run for your lives!

     Atmosphere, atmosphere is the most effective element in any and all horror, mystery, supernatural, or any novel. Atmosphere is the most effective element in any novel concerning horror, mystery, supernatural, and etc. because atmosphere creates the setting, the mood, the feeling, and the characteristics of a certain time or event in any story. Atmosphere creates the setting to a novel or a short story by describing the surroundings and how the character feels during that moment, time, and place. The reason atmosphere is more effective than the elements of action and supernatural is because atmosphere gives the novel or short story more depth and feeling towards an event or time and also atmosphere enhances the element of action and the element of the supernatural. Atmosphere enhances the element of action and the element of the supernatural is because the atmosphere helps create a sense of danger or superstition. An example of atmospheric enhancement in Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus   is in Chapter 4, volume 1, when Mary Shelley describes the time and event as," It was on a dreary night of November, that I beheld the accomplishment of my toils. ... It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitates its limbs."
