I think it is interesting that Shelley was influenced to write Frankenstein because at the time, a volcano named Tambora in Indonesia had been erupting for a couple of years which caused blocked out sunlight and lowered averages surface temperatures globally. It was gloomy and crops were failing so this all influenced her story.
