One of BBC’s 100 Novels That Shaped Our World, Frankenstein is the most
famous novel by Mary Shelley: a dark parable of science misused.
Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but wayward scientist, builds a human
from dead flesh. Horrified at what he has done, he abandons his
creation. The hideous creature learns language and becomes civilized
but society rejects him. Spurned, he seeks vengeance on his creator. So
begins a cycle of destruction, with Frankenstein and his ‘monster’
pursuing each other to the extremes of nature until all vestiges of
their humanity are lost.
In 1831, Mary Shelley succumbed to conservative pressures and toned
down elements of the work; this edition presents the work as originally
intended.
This series of gorgeous pocket-sized paperbacks from Macmilan
Collector's Library celebrates the very best Gothic and horror
literature, teeming with monsters, misfits and ghosts.
