As one of the most renowned classic horror novels, Frankenstein stands above the rest. Mary Shelley, highly influenced by the Romantic movement, wrote what can be categorized as both early science fiction and a gothic novel. Challenged by Lord Byron to write a ghost story, she set out at age eighteen to tell a tale that would “speak to the mysterious fears of our nature and awaken thrilling horror—one to make the reader dread to look round, to curdle the blood, and quicken the beatings of the heart” (from her introduction to the 1831 publication, included in this volume).
Beautifully preserved for the modern reader, re-typeset for print and optimized for e-readers, this elegant edition will not only enlighten your mind but add to the charm of your book collection.
