Young scientist, Victor Frankenstein, creates an intelligent but grotesque living creature in a fantastic scientific experiment. Written by 18 year old Mary Shelley, Frankenstein stands as one of the masterpieces of nineteenth-century Gothicism."Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust? God, in pity, made man beautiful and alluring, after his own image; but my form is a filthy type of yours, more horrid even from the very resemblance." This excellent edition is printed on high quality paper with an attractive, durable cover.
