Frankenstein
Mary Shelley
Synopsis "Frankenstein"
First published in 1818, 'Frankenstein' is the classic gothic horror novel by Mary Shelley, an English novelist. Victor Frankenstein, a youthful university student, becomes smitten with uncovering the secret to creating life. Over several months, he makes a creature out of body parts swiped from graves. Yet after he brings his work to life, Victor becomes fearful and, desiring nothing to do with his creation, deserts the 'monster'. Forsaken by the world because of his appearance, the monster lives in hiding but probes for his creator. When he confronts Victor, the monster beseeches for kindness, and receiving none, intimidates retribution. Shelley's masterpiece still maintains a powerful grip on fantasy and has been the stimulant for considerable horror movies, television, and stage adaptations.
