Frankenstein

Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a mesmerizing tale of boundless ambition and the perils of playing God. At its heart is Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant yet tormented scientist whose unorthodox experiment breathes life into a being stitched together from the remnants of death. Conceived on a fateful holiday near Lake Geneva by a then-18-year-old Mary Shelley—alongside her future husband Percy Bysshe Shelley and the enigmatic Lord Byron—the story began as a ghost tale challenge and blossomed into a literary masterpiece. Initially published anonymously in a three-volume series, the novel not only set the standard for Gothic horror but also forged the blueprint for modern science fiction. Its themes of creation, isolation, and the inevitable clash between human aspiration and nature’s immutable laws continue to resonate, inspiring generations of horror stories, films, and plays. Echoing through time is the chilling promise: “If I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear!”
