    I can’t remember that he use pickled body parts in the novel. Because that’s basically what happens to bodies used for anatomy training. The way they are prepared they can be stored at room temperature for weeks, just covered with a damp sheet.

      Sorry, no, the historical Dr Frankenstein. This is all non-fiction and 100% real, and we should take it extremely seriously.

      Personally idk I like my corpses removed, no corpses. Gonna try not to panic when I wake up under a damp sheet in the morning, thanks

        You mean Konrad Dippel? As far as I know it’s very much disputed whether Mary Shelly took any inspiration from the folk stories around him.
