“Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust?”
It’s spooky season, so let’s read Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein!
Consumed by his need to unlock the secrets of life, scientist Victor Frankenstein pieces together a living being from body parts of the dead. Horrified by his own creation, Frankenstein casts it aside. His misshapen offspring craves love and acceptance, but meets only revulsion and cruelty. As their lives spiral toward revenge and ruin, Frankenstein and his monster must confront the terrifying cost of playing God.
A foundational text of gothic horror and science fiction, Mary Shelley explores profound ethical questions with compassion and humanity.
