Horror. Romance. Science. A classic tale that would be a fright to
miss!
The idea for the story came to the author, Mary Shelley, in a dream she
had about a scientist who had created life and was horrified by what he
had made. This Gothic-style romance is among the first of true science
fiction novels, if not the first. A young scientist named Victor
Frankenstein, after going through his own near-death experience, decides
to play God and create life in the form of a grotesque creature, which
turns into a nightmare. Through his experience, he learns that the gift
of life is precious, not disposable. His journey and personal
transformation has deeply affected readers. This edition contains the
text of the revised 1831 version of Frankenstein.
