It was certainly written by Mary because we have her original manuscript. What Percy did was edit it, some passages extensively, to make it more 'latinate' than 'germanic' and thus more to the taste of the general readership at the time.

Mary:
>The raising of ghosts or devils was also a favourite pursuit and if I never saw any I attributed it rather to my own inexperience.

Percy:
>The raising of ghosts or devils was a promise liberally accorded by my favourite authors, the fulfilment of which I most eagerly sought; and if my incantations were always unsuccessful, I attributed the failure rather to my own inexperience.

>That PBS collaborated on this novel should come as no surprise to anyone, because the Shelleys left a long history of their shared activities as creative artists. They transcribed and they edited each other's works; they encouraged each other to undertake or to modify major works; and they even collaborated in the publication of History of a Six Weeks' Tour at a time when Frankenstein was being readied for the press.
>A reading of the evidence in these Frankenstein Notebooks should make clear that PBS's contributions to Frankenstein were no more than what most publishers' editors have provided new (or old) authors or, in fact, what colleagues have provided to each other after reading each other's works in progress.
