Frankenstein or, The Modern Prometheus

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.

"This is the definitive collectors edition and is a stunning and impressive uanabridged representation of a classic literary work."
