I'm taking summer courses between my sophmore and junior year at college and one of the classes I'm taking is Classical Mythology. Frankenstein's full title is actually "Frankenstein: Or the Modern Prometheus" so it has a lot of references to Mythology and crap.
I've never read Interview with a Vampire. I'll definitely look into it, though. You should read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. It's VERY different from the movie adaptations (even the movie called "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein"). |

Interesting tidbit you might not have known: Frankenstein is the name of the DOCTOR (Victor Frankenstein) however you can call the monster by that name too since he's technically the "son" of V.F. |

| I read it about 5 years ago for school but didnt find it that amazing. I prefered other similar works from the time period, but it also wasn't a terrible book. |
