We’re going classic monster today with a deluxe edition of FRANKENSTEIN. This one speaks for itself. Or it’s monster speaks for it… or something…
FRANKENSTEIN by Mary Shelley
From the Publisher:
A deluxe edition of Mary Shelley’s haunting adventure about ambition and modernity run amok. Now a Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition with an introduction by Elizabeth Kostova and cover art by “Ghost World” creator Daniel Clowes, Mary Shelley’s timeless gothic novel presents the epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.
So many great classic horror novels out there – Frankenstein, Dracula, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Turn of the Screw, The Great God Pan – and of course all the works of Edgar Allan Poe and H.P. Lovecraft (a personal favorite of mine!)
