A powerful masterpiece from the gothic pen of Mary Shelley. Victor
Frankenstein is a man of science obsessed with the idea of creating
life. So much so, that he creates a giant, human-like being out of a
patchwork of corpses. However on achieving his miracle, Frankenstein
finds himself horrified at his repulsive creation. His decision to
abandon the monster leads to devastating consequences as, rejected and
alone, it becomes determined to wreak its vengeance. Enraged not only at
Frankenstein's betrayal, but also his refusal to give him a bride, the
monster hunts down those Frankenstein holds dear, leaving his creator
with no choice but to try desperately to destroy the horror he brought
forth.
