Frankenstein

Frankenstein was a novel written by Mary Shelley and published in 1818.

In 1816, Shelley encountered the Eighth Doctor and witnessed him apparently coming back to life after being dead, providing inspiration for Frankenstein. (BFA: The Company of Friends) Also in 1816, Shelley encountered the Tenth Doctor later in his timeline as Zzazik, an alien creature wrapped in bandages, was absorbing bolts of energy. This sight provided Shelley with inspiration for a scene in Frankenstein. (DWBIT: The Creative Spark)
 * The order of these encounters with the Doctor in 1816 from Mary Shelley's point of view is not known.

The Eighth Doctor had a copy of the novel in his TARDIS library, inscribed to him by Mary Shelley. The Doctor read the preface aloud, and mentioned that what Shelley wrote wasn't the entire truth about what had happened. (BFA: Storm Warning)

In 1996, an android version of Frankenstein's Monster, a character in the novel, was part of an attraction at the Festival of Ghana. (DW: The Chase)

In 1999, Pete watched the 1931 Frankenstein film while the Seventh Doctor regenerated in his morgue. After regenerating, the Eighth Doctor was startled by the monster on Pete's television. (DW: Doctor Who)

In 3278, a Reprise of Victor Frankenstein, a character in the novel, lived in Europa. (MA: Managra)

In the far future, Ace stated that a Panjistri laboratory was "like something out of a Frankenstein movie." (NA: Timewyrm: Apocalypse)
