Volney Kickstarter

Link to the finished audiobook! It’s on Google Drive and should be accessible for download by anyone. Let me know if not.

Thank you for helping me #SaveFrankenstein!

Ever wondered how Frankenstein’s Creature learned to speak? In Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s Frankenstein, the Creature learned from a book called The Ruins, or Meditation on the Revolutions of Empires, by Constantin François de Chassebœuf, comte de Volney.

I love audiobooks, and I realized that no one has ever done an audiobook of The Ruins! This rich and magical book, a source for art we love and even our own political freedoms, is in danger of being forgotten.

I ran a Kickstarter in late Dec 2014/Jan 2015, which succeeded!

Acknowledgments!

Count Volney, the hero of this tale!
My cat, Frankie, who entertained me while reading.
The people who are currently reading this Kickstarter and giving me feedback!
Jason DeLeo for teaching me to concisely tell great stories and who helped with my video script (though he didn’t know it at the time!)

Our killer audiobook editor and sound engineer Mike Council!

Wonderful and awesome backers!
[If you’d like your link changed, I’ll happily do so]
