Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is widely regarded as the greatest horror story ever written. It has been published as part of the Macmillan Collector's Library Classic Horror series, a stunning collection of neon paperbacks featuring our most beloved and feared monsters and misfits. The story follows Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but wayward scientist, who builds a human from dead flesh. Horrified at what he has done, he abandons his creation, but the hideous creature learns language and becomes civilized. However, society rejects him, and he seeks vengeance on his creator. This leads to a cycle of destruction, with Frankenstein and his "monster" pursuing each other to the extremes of nature until all vestiges of their humanity are lost. In 1831, Mary Shelley succumbed to conservative pressures and toned down elements of the work in a second version of the text, which is reproduced here.
