'The rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open...'

Victor Frankenstein's monster is stitched together from the limbs of the dead, taken from 'the dissecting room and the slaughter-house'. The result is a grotesque being who, rejected by his maker and starved of human companionship, sets out on a journey to seek his revenge. In the most famous gothic horror story ever told, Shelley confronts the limitations of science, the nature of human cruelty and the pathway to forgiveness.

Begun when Mary Shelley was only eighteen years old and published two years later, this chilling tale of a young scientist's desire to create life - and the consequences of that creation - still resonate today.

Mary Shelley was born Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin in 1797 to famed feminist Mary Wollstonecraft and political writer and philosopher William Godwin. In 1816, she married poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. She wrote several other books including Valperga (1823), The Last Man (1826), and Lodore (1835).
