A tale of ambition, obsession, and the price of playing god—Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus is one of literature's most haunting and timeless works. When the brilliant but reckless Victor Frankenstein brings life to a being of his own creation, he believes he has unlocked the secrets of nature itself. But what begins as triumph quickly becomes torment. The creature, cast aside and unloved, longs for acceptance yet finds only fear and hatred. His search for belonging spirals into a tragic pursuit of vengeance, binding creator and creation in a chilling struggle that questions the boundaries of science, morality, and humanity itself.

Mary Shelley's masterpiece is more than just the origin of modern science fiction—it is a gripping exploration of isolation, responsibility, and the dangers of unchecked desire. Dark, thought-provoking, and endlessly relevant, Frankenstein continues to captivate readers with its blend of Gothic horror and philosophical depth.
