Author Description

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus is one of the most iconic works of Gothic horror and science fiction literature of all time. Mary started writing the story when she was only nineteen - conceived from a nightmare about a creature produced by an unorthodox scientific experiment. It was published when she was twenty-one. Her monstrous, dark creation has terrified and chilled readers since its first publication in 1818. This book is unabridged, and appears as it was first intended.
