Frank 5 | Read With Me | Subscriber Summer Bonus from SWM+

Vic is feeling his feelings and keeping mum. To be honest, having a wind down routine would probably help him out.

This reading of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein has been sleepified as much as possible, but there are unavoidable references to the Big Farm, religion, and mental health. These topics may not be sleepy for all listeners.

Happy Subscriber Summer! All summer long, we’ll be giving you a sneak peek of material exclusively available on Sleep With Me Plus. SWM+ supporters will be getting multiple brand new episodes every week. Learn more at sleepwithmepodcast.com/plus

      • But now, all was blasted
      • Sweet, sweet lonely solitude

      • Ugh – that’s what I have to say
    • Your sorrow, Papa?!
    • We retired to our house in Belle Reve
    • Happily free of Geneva
    • I’d pass many hours upon the water on the lake
    • I was tempted to do a long dive into the lake, if you catch my drift
    • But I thought of my family then
    • Fear of my creature doing something else
    • I ardently wished to extinguish my creation
    • My feelings exploded all bounds of moderation

    • She feels just me be woeful for Justine’s sake
    • Now misery has come home
    • I know Justine was innocent
    • I felt like I was walking on the edge of a precipice
    • Whoever did this is walking free
    • I was a true V-I-L-L-A-I-N
    • Elizabeth tells me to banish my dark passions
    • Sometimes I couldn’t cope with the whirlwind passions that took hold of me
    • I’d wander often in the valley of Chamis
    • I’d travel by mule
    • It was the middle of August
    • Plunging into the Ravine of the Arve
    • A scene of singular beauty, rendered sublime by the Alps

    • I heard the rumbling of a falling ava-snow
    • The supreme Mont Blanc
    • I remembered the lighthearted gaiety of youth
    • Finally arriving at the village of Chamis
    • Watching the valley from inside my cabin
    • These sights and sounds were a lullaby to me
