Science meets horror in a new edition of a classic, featuring illustrations by Amanda Shaffer and an introduction by bestselling author Melissa Marr.
> The novel that Mary Shelley would go on to publish, the legend of Victor Frankenstein and his unholy creation, and their obsessive, murderous pursuit of each other from Switzerland to the North Pole, has been the stuff of nightmares for nearly two centuries. A masterpiece of Romantic literature, it is also one of the most enduring horror stories ever written, dramatized by Shaffer's full-page original illustrations that bring the monster's tale to dramatic life. New York Times-bestselling author Marr places Mary Shelley in the pantheon of female trailblazers, among such notables as Greta Thunberg and Taylor Swift, citing Shelley as the first woman writer of science fiction; a girl, underestimated, providing one of the most recognizable stories of all time.
