Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (first published 1818) tells the haunting story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who defies nature by creating life, only to be confronted with the moral consequences of his ambition when the being he animates becomes both his burden and his torment.

This edition uses Shelley’s original narrative, enriched by Robert Andrew Parker’s evocative illustrations that bring key scenes, characters, and moods vividly to life.
