(Large Print copy is an AIM-VA Purchased Book) Young scientist, Victor Frankenstein, creates an intelligent but grotesque living creature in a fantastic scientific experiment. Written by 18 year old Mary Shelley, Frankenstein stands as one of the masterpieces of nineteenth-century Gothicism. "Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust? God, in pity, made man beautiful and alluring, after his own image; but my form is a filthy type of yours, more horrid even from the very resemblance." (from amazon.com)
