Mary Shelley’s haunting adventure about ambition and modernity run amok—now in a stunning clothbound edition designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith.
 
Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read

Obsessed by creating life itself, Victor Frankenstein plunders graveyards for the material to fashion a new being, which he shocks into life by electricity. But his botched creature, rejected by Frankenstein and denied human companionship, sets out to destroy his maker and all that he holds dear.

This chilling gothic tale, begun when Mary Shelley was just nineteen years old, would become the world’s most famous work of horror fiction, and remains a devastating exploration of the limits of human creativity. This edition also includes ‘A Fragment’ by Lord Byron and ‘The Vampyre: A Tale’ by John Polidori, as well as an introduction and notes by Maurice Hindle.
