Hauntingly Faustian, Frankenstein is the uncanny tale of dark scientific experimentation and is known as the first science fiction novel. Redefining gothic horror literature, Mary Shelley's masterpiece observes what it means to be human.

Young scientist Victor Frankenstein pillages graveyards for body parts and organs to fulfil his macabre desire to create life. Piecing together fragments of corpses to fashion the 'perfect' human, Frankenstein's unorthodox experiment plunges into a nightmare when the scientist shocks his creation to life with electricity. The grotesque being that emerges is a monster beyond his creator's capabilities, and he is sent out into the world alone, confused, and consumed by an uncontrollable hatred for Victor Frankenstein.

First published in 1818, this novel is one of the most impactful tales of the cycle of destruction. Not to be missed by fans of gothic horror.
