Overview
Frankenstein is one of the classics of Gothic horror. For those who only know the tale by way of Hollywood, the novel provides a remarkable departure. The tale is told in a series of letters penned by Walton, an English explorer in the Arctic. He tells how Frankenstein, a student of natural philosophy in Geneva, discovered how to give live to inanimate matter and set about to create the monster. Born with incredible strength and schooled in human emotion by studies of Goethe, Plutarch, and Paradise Lost, the horrible creature is soon lonely and miserable, and turns on Frankenstein after the scientist refuses to create a mate. After killing Frankenstein's brother, friend, and wife, the monster flees to the North Pole, with Frankenstein in pursuit, hoping to destroy his creation. Frankenstein meets the novel's narrator Walton, relates the tale, and then dies. The monster ends his own life, wandering off into the frozen wastelands. This edition of Frankenstein boasts a marvelous introduction by Jeffrey Wilds Deaver, bestselling author of popular horror tales such as The Bone Collector (which was made into a motion picture staring Denzel Washington).
