HarperCollins is thrilled to unveil its latest collection of beloved and essential classics. As the rain relentlessly pounded against the windows, and my candle neared its end, a faint glimmer of light revealed the dull yellow eye of the creature, stirring from its slumber. Victor Frankenstein's monstrous creation is assembled from the limbs of the deceased, sourced from the dissecting room and the slaughterhouse. The outcome is a grotesque being, shunned by his creator and deprived of human companionship, embarking on a quest for retribution. In this renowned gothic horror masterpiece, Shelley delves into the boundaries of science, the depths of human cruelty, and the path to redemption. Crafted when Mary Shelley was just eighteen years old and published two years later, this chilling tale of a young scientist's obsession with creating life and the unforeseen consequences of that pursuit continues to resonate deeply in our modern world.
