Frankenstein: A Modern Retelling

The Modern-English Retelling Series


A timeless horror classic—now retold in modern English for today's readers.


Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant young scientist obsessed with the secrets of life, creates a living being from death itself. But when his Creature is rejected and abandoned, the result is a terrifying spiral of revenge, guilt, and tragedy. As man and monster chase each other across Europe to the ends of the Earth, they confront the consequences of ambition, isolation, and the desire to be loved.
