Description
Frankenstein is the classic Gothic horror novel that has thrilled and engrossed readers for two centuries. Written by Mary Shelley, it tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, who is driven by the mad dream of creating his own creature and uses alchemy and science to build a monster stitched together from dead remains. Once the creature becomes a living, breathing and articulate entity, it turns on its maker and the novel darkens into tragedy. The tale combines science fiction, mystery and thriller elements, while its elegant prose, grotesque surreal imagery and multilayered themes continue to grip the imagination. First published in 1818, Shelley’s masterpiece has inspired numerous horror films, television programmes and stage adaptations. This edition uses the 1831 version of the text and includes a new afterword by Dr Sally Minogue.
