Frankenstein Thrift Study Edition by Mary Shelley
Obsessed with creating life in a laboratory, a medical student haunts graveyards and dissecting rooms in search of the materials for his experiments. But when he achieves success, he rejects his ghastly creation. The creature -- longing for love but shunned by all -- turns evil and exacts revenge.
