Review

"Out of that vampire-laden fug of gruesomeness known as the English Gothic Romance, only the forbidding acrid name of Frankenstein remains in general usage....Mary Shelley had courage, she was inspired. 'Frankenstein' has entertained, delighted and harrowed generations of readers to this day."

"...[T]he creation of the monster is essentially one of the horrors of birth, as young Mary, whose mother had died giving birth to her, and who was pregnant with a third foetus as she wrote 'Frankenstein', may have come to conceive it."

Annotation

Written in 1816 when she was only 19, for a horror-writing contest suggested by Byron, Mary Shelley's novel of "the modern Prometheus" chillingly dramatized the dangerous potential of life created in the laboratory. A frightening creation myth for our own time, "Frankenstein" remains one of the greatest horror stories ever written, and an undisputed classic.

"Frankenstein" ranks among the most popular novels ever written, and this illustrated edition is especially rewarding. Its 64 distinctive illustrations by Lynd Ward, a master of woodcut technique, combine elements of Art Deco and German Expressionism. Ward's unusual perspectives and dramatic light-and-dark contrasts offer the perfect complement to Mary Shelley's Gothic masterpiece.""
