Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a gothic classic that has captivated readers for over two centuries. This edition features stunning sprayed edges and presents a story originally intended to “curdle the blood and quicken the beatings of the heart.” Blending science fiction, mystery, and horror, it remains one of literature’s most powerful works.
Victor Frankenstein becomes consumed by the desire to create life. Through experiments in science and alchemy, he assembles a living being from discarded remains. What begins as ambition quickly turns into something far more unsettling, as the creature awakens with consciousness and presence.
As life takes hold, the relationship between creator and creation fractures. The being turns on Frankenstein, and the narrative shifts into tragedy. Themes of responsibility, isolation, and consequence unfold through vivid and unsettling scenes.
Shelley’s prose draws the reader through a world of tension and emotion, where beauty and horror sit side by side. The imagery remains striking, and the questions raised by the story continue to resonate today.
First published in 1818, this enduring masterpiece has inspired countless adaptations across film, television, and stage. This edition uses the 1831 text and includes a new afterword by Dr Sally Minogue.
