About this audiobook
The classic horror novel brought to life.
Victor Frankenstein has an idea. An idea that can change the world, and the path of humanity as we know it. And one night, in a secluded upper story laboratory, he executes the idea, and brings life into that which was previously inanimate. Little does he know the cost that this one act of altruism will cost him, his family, and his love.
Mary Shelley
Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin was born in 1797, the daughter of two of the leading radical writers of the age. Her mother died just days after her birth and she was educated at home by her father and encouraged in literary pursuits. She eloped with and subsequently married the Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, but their life together was full of hardship. The couple were ruined by disapproving parents and Mary lost three of her four children. Although its subject matter was extremely dark, her first novel Frankenstein (1818) was an instant sensation. Subsequent works such as Mathilda (1819), Valperga (1823) and The Last Man (1826) were less successful but are now finally receiving the critical acclaim that they deserve.
