Frankenstein, or, The modern Prometheus - Mary Shelley

What you create can destroy you. Written when she was only 19, Shelley's gothic tale is one of the greatest horror stories ever written.

One freezing morning, a lone man wandering across the Arctic ice caps is rescued from starvation by a ship's captain. Victor Frankenstein's story is one of ambition, murder, and revenge. As a young scientist he pushed moral boundaries in order to cross the final scientific frontier and create life. But his creation is a monster stitched together from grave-robbed body parts who has no place in the world, and his life can only lead to tragedy.
