No mythic creature has captured imaginations quite like Frankenstein's monster. Now, horror fans can color Mary Shelley's immortal story with this spine-tingling graphic novel. Each page features multiple panels and an abridged text that tells the tale of a ghastly, ungodly experiment that goes horribly wrong.
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley was born on August 30, 1797, into a life of personal tragedy. In 1816, she married the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, and that summer traveled with him and a host of other Romantic intellectuals to Geneva. Her greatest achievement was piecing together one of the most terrifying and renowned stories of all time: Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. Shelley said she conceived of Frankenstein in “a waking dream.” This vision was simply of a student kneeling before a corpse brought to life. Yet this tale of a mad creator and his abomination has inspired a multitude of storytellers and artists. She died on February 1, 1851.
