The premise

You read more than ever, and remember less than ever. Ghostreader closes the gap — keeping what matters, answering from the text, and holding the thread across the books you bring.

See it read

watch it read a page with you.

a real page — scroll it like a book. the ghost works the margin as you go.

frankenstein · mary shelley · 1818
chapter five — the creation

it was on a dreary night of november that i beheld the accomplishment of my toils. with an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, i collected the instruments of life around me, that i might infuse a spark of being1 into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet.

it was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when i saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive2 motion agitated its limbs.

i had worked for nearly two years for the sole purpose of infusing life into an inanimate body. but now that i had finished, the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart3.
