About This Book

Published in 1818, Frankenstein established Mary Shelley as one of the defining voices in horror. Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist obsessed with the secret of life, creates a hideous creature that turns on its maker. Shelley's novel—written when she was eighteen—is at once a horror story, a meditation on creation and responsibility, and a founding text of science fiction. Themes of creation, responsibility, rejection run through the work. The book has received recognition from Bram Stoker Award 1818.
