Horror

Frankenstein - Mary Shelley

by Mary Shelley

The foundational work of science fiction and Gothic horror, written when Shelley was merely eighteen. Victor Frankenstein's obsessive creation of sapient life births not just a creature, but questions of responsibility, hubris, and what it means to be human. The novel that gave the modern Prometheus his monstrous, eternal form.
