‘It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open . . .’ Frankenstein

Synopsis

What you create can destroy you. One freezing morning, a lone man wandering across the artic ice caps is rescued from starvation by a ship’s captain. Victor Frankenstein’s story is one of ambition, murder and revenge. As a young scientist he pushed moral boundaries in order to cross the final scientific frontier and create life. But his creation is a monster stitched together from grave-robbed body parts who has no place in the world, and his life can only lead to tragedy.Written when she was only nineteen, Shelley's gothic tale is one of the greatest horror stories ever written

Editorial Reviews

"A masterpiece" - Philip Pullman

"More relevant today than ever" - Benjamin Zephaniah

"One of the most original and complete productions of the day" - Percy Bysshe Shelley

"I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life and stir with an uneasy, half-vital motion" - Mary Shelley
