The Invisible Girl (Unabridged‪)‬

The Invisible Girl, first published in the English literary anthology annual The Keepsake in 1833, is Mary Shelly, master of Gothic fiction, doing what she did best. The Invisible Girl is a story about the turbulence of secret love. Like much of her work, Shelly blends the dark and the supernatural with elements of romance and intimacy and unravels this story within a story with aplomb, and the setting of rural Wales in the early 19th century lends to the foreboding and bittersweet tone of the tale.
