I would guess "Frankenstein"
Frankenstein
Frankenberry...d'oh... I mean Frankenstein.
DUH! Frankenstein, silly rabbit!
Fire bad!! Arrrr!! Frankenstein. She wrote it on a bet too. No idea what the prize was but the goal was to write the scariest story.
There was no prize, Matt. She was at a summer villa with Lord Byron, her husband, Percy and a few others. They would all sit around telling ghost stories and then one day Lord Byron challenged everyone to write a story instead. Mary was only 18 at the time, but as far as I know, her story was the only one that became memorable.
