Frankenstein

During a raging thunderstorm, a man’s obsession comes to life-and his dream of creation becomes his greatest curse. Haunted by the being he brought into existence, Victor Frankenstein is thrust into a battle between genius and guilt, life and death, love and vengeance.

A masterpiece of gothic horror and human tragedy, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is the original tale of man versus monster, creator versus creation, a timeless descent into the heart of human ambition and the terror of playing God. This abridged, illustrated edition preserves Shelley’s electrifying language and vision, brought to life through striking black-and-white illustrations that capture the story’s gothic power and enduring soul.

But in the end-who is the real monster?

And once life is created… can it ever be destroyed?
