Wow! Congratulations on five incredible years! This blog is one of the most brilliant creations the internet has yet experienced. Here's to five more years!
I've been reading your Blog since day one "IT'S ALIVE!" There's no better archive of Frankenstein related treasure.
Many happy returns and Very 'Beast Witches' on your 5th birthday. Here's to a new world of Frankensteinia and cake!
One of my favourite blogs. Thinking of doing some scans of illustrations from an abridged Frankenstein that meant a lot to me as a kid. Will send them your way!
Keep up the good work.
Congratulations, Pierre! After 5 frantic years, the hits just keep on coming. Thanks for all the wonderful scholarship, and many happy returns!

Salute, Pierre.

I'm always shocked that you keep finding more material to share with all of us. As a huge fan of classic horror films, it makes me positively giddy! :)
This site has been a model for other blogs for five years, and is consistently superb. Congratulations on reaching this milestone, Pierre!
Happy 5 Pierre!!
I'll take this opportunity to thank you for all this great material... and you've given some very tantalizing hints of what's ahead!
Congrats, Pierre. You do an incredible job here. This is unquestionably one the best blogs I've ever seen.
