    Read the book on how he did it. The creature travelled at night during times when people stayed at home when it’s dark, and avoided villages and towns. Rather simple and realistic.

            In the early 1800s? No, I don’t think so, that would have been how people were labeled as witches or ne’er-do-wells and hung.

              Now I need a modern retelling of Frankenstein where things actually turn out alright for Mr. Monster. He gets a work from home gig and gets his groceries delivered, so no need to sneak around at night. He mostly just hangs out at home all day. And he develops an active love life thanks to the Internet! He has partners literally flying in to see him.

                  I mean, you try being a reanimated sewn together corpse trying to support yourself in this economy! And the hardest part of making a living on sites like OF is being unique or noticeable. And boy, is Mr. Monster that!

          You don’t think that the Venn diagram of monsterfuckers and introverts have any overlap? At all?

              Dear diary,

              A melancholy has come upon me. I am a fool with an unspeakable, uncurable sickness.

              At the tavern this evening, Sir Roger and his friends were speaking of the fairness of the maidens in the village, and I, the fool that I am asked if anyone else did think and agree that;

              “Miss Emily would be twice the treat were she to grow the fangs and whiskers of the she-wolf”

              They looked at me as a man beset by madness! Realising my error, I panicked and quickly exclaimed;

              “Tis merely a jest! Take nothing earnest in mine utterances!”

              But they did not stop laughing, until everyone in the room, which is nearly everyone in the village of any standing, was also laughing.

              They attempted to mock me by initiating mock-courting, interspersed with howling and growling.

              I fled home, ashamed, a fool. As I write this now, every five minutes I hear a howl and some giggling from outside my window.

              There must not be another man alive who would understand me and my shameful sickness. Why must I desire this ungodly blend of woman and beast?

              I shall leave for London in the morning, to find a cure, or failing that, to meet my end.

            they verifiably do, but introverts miss other introverts all the time

            Yeah, but introvert monsterfuckers are even less likely to meet the monster, because they’re sitting alone at home fantasizing about monsters.
