Horror
by Mary Shelley
Victor Frankenstein's obsessive quest to unlock the secrets of life leads him to create a living being from dead flesh—a creature who awakens to consciousness only to find himself abandoned and reviled. As monster and maker pursue each other across frozen wastes, Mary Shelley's masterwork asks profound questions about creation, responsibility, and what it means to be human. The original science fiction gothic horror, still unmatched in its philosophical depth.
