Mike Resnick's "The Bride of Frankenstein" (short story, fanfic, free): Retelling Mary Shelly's "Frankenstein" from an alternate perspective
What if Victor Frankenstein created his "creature"
- only a few decades back (at a time when "Gone With the Wind ... is making so much money in the bookstores" - would that be early- or, may be, mid-twentieth century?),
- after returning from his college,
- after getting married,
A funny retelling from the perspective of Victor's wife. And the creature here is about to actually get a mate.
