Frankenstein is generally acclaimed as the novel that translated the dark and stormy ethos of the gothic novel into a foundation for modern science fiction. Now, it is distinctively packaged in hardcover with a beautifully designed jacket by noted illustrator Malika Favre. For years, Victor Frankenstein labors to create a new race of intelligent beings. He spends his nights scavenging human and animal body parts from graveyards, slaughterhouses, and hospital dissection rooms. By day he experiments in his secret laboratory, perfecting the creature who, he believes, will worship him as a god. But when he succeeds, Frankenstein is horrified by the ugly brutishness of the patchwork being he has brought to life, and he runs from it. Frankenstein has, indeed, created a monster--not by animating dead flesh but by abandoning his creation. Now, the monster is out for revenge.
