Beloved by horror fans across the globe, Frankenstein explores the terror of what happens when humanity plays God. Shattered by grief, the unstable Victor Frankenstein conducts a bizarre experiment, using electricity to galvanize inanimate matter and create an enormous man-like monster. Terrified by his own actions, Victor abandons his creation to the wilderness. Years later, the intelligent albeit hideous Creature finds his creator and poignantly demands his right to happiness. A tragedy of murderous rage and the fatal ramifications of revenge, Mary Shelley's iconic novel has been terrifying readers since the nineteenth century. And now this time-honored classic is available as an exclusive collector's edition.
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley (Pretty Books Edition) is one of four titles available. The Pretty Books collection will also include The Great Gatsby, The Wizard of Oz, and The Return of Sherlock Holmes.
