A graphic retelling of Mary Shelley's gothic masterpiece is brought back to life with incredible illustrations!

This contemporary graphic novel resurrects Mary Shelley's classic horror story, featuring atmospheric illustrations and electrifying explorations of the cultural impact of this gothic masterpiece. The novel follows the obsessive scientist Victor Frankenstein as he robs graveyards and gathers body parts to build a monster of superhuman strength. But as he begins to develop his own mind, consciousness and agency, how will the creature react to being left alone in the world by his creator?

Perfect for reluctant readers and visual learners, this faithful, fast-paced adaptation brings Frankenstein to vivid life with full-colour artwork and speech bubbles to enhance the retelling. Alongside the novel, this edition includes a biography of Mary Shelley, explorations of scientific discoveries at the time, a listing of Frankenstein in film, and footnotes to explain difficult words and ideas.
