Frankenstein

New Edition of Mary Shelley's Gothic Masterpiece, now a Major Movie from Guillermo del Toro

About this book

One of the best-known works of English literature, Frankenstein gave rise to the science-fiction and horror genres and has enthralled generations of readers since its publication in 1818.

The book follows the story of Victor Frankenstein and his monster: the result of his desire to create life. But his botched experiment is so grotesque that the doctor immediately regrets what he has done and abandons the monster, leaving him to fend for himself. The creature finds and confronts his maker pleading for a companion – his human right to happiness. Fearing what this may lead to, Victor refuses, causing the monster to vow to ruin any happiness in Victor's life.

A tragedy and a cautionary tale about the pitfalls of ambition and creation, Mary Shelley's masterpiece is more relevant now than ever.
