The Original Gothic-Horror Literary Classic
Mary Shelley's deceptively simple story of Victor Frankenstein
and the creature he brings to life, first published in 1818, is now
more widely read-and more widely discussed by scholars-than any
other work of the Romantic period. From the creature's creation to
his wild lament over the dead body of his creator in the Arctic
wastes, the story retains its narrative hold on the reader even as
it spins off ideas in rich profusion.
About the Author:

travel writer, best known for her Gothic novel Frankenstein: or,
The Modern Prometheus (1818). She also edited and promoted the

Wollstonecraft. She died in London in 1851.
"This is the definitive collectors edition and is a stunning and
