"Dover hits a homerun with this slick edition. Frankenstein has never looked so beautiful." — Horror Novel Reviews Generations have thrilled to Mary Shelley's 1818 novel, the suspenseful tale of a well-intentioned doctorwho dares to play God and the misbegotten monster who wreaks a savage revenge on his creator.
