First published in 1818, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is the legendary Gothic novel that gave rise to modern science fiction and reshaped horror forever. This isn't the Hollywood version-it's darker, deeper, and infinitely more human.
In this gripping modern translation, the tragic story of Victor Frankenstein and his creature comes to life like never before. Obsessed with unraveling the secrets of life, Victor builds a sentient being from the remains of the dead. But when he is repulsed by his own creation and abandons it, he sets in motion a chain of suffering, isolation, and revenge that spirals toward inevitable tragedy.
What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation:
Whether you're new to the tale or returning to its tragic depths, this edition will leave you questioning the nature of humanity-and the true cost of creation.
