One freezing morning, a lone man wandering across the Artic ice caps is rescued from starvation by a ship s captain. Victor Frankenstein s story is one of ambition, murder and revenge. As a young scientist he pushed moral boundaries in order to cross the final frontier and create life. But his creation is a monster stitched together from grave-robbed body parts who has no place in the world, and his life can only lead to tragedy.
Written when she was only nineteen, Shelley s gothic tale is one of the greatest horror stories ever published.
