Frankenstein book - Flame Tree Publishing

A powerful masterpiece from the gothic pen of Mary Shelley. Victor Frankenstein is a man of science obsessed with creating life. To such an extent that he assembles a giant, human-like creature from a mosaic of corpses. However, after achieving the miracle, Frankenstein is terrified of his grotesque creation. His decision to abandon the monster leads to devastating consequences, as the rejected and lonely creature becomes determined to take revenge. Enraged not only by Frankenstein's betrayal but also by his refusal to give him a fiancée, the monster hunts those close to Frankenstein, leaving his creator with no choice but to desperately try to destroy the horror he has unleashed. FLAME TREE 451: From mystery to crime, from supernatural phenomena to horror and fantasy, and science fiction, Flame Tree 451 offers a hearty diet of werewolves and mechanical men, bloodthirsty vampires, wicked villains, mad scientists, secret worlds, lost civilizations, and escapist fantasies. Discover a magazine of stories collected especially for the fantasy reader. Each book features a brand new biography and a glossary of literary, gothic, and Victorian terms.
