Victor dies on Walton's ship. The creature wanders into the Arctic alone after Victor's death and plans to end his life there., Frankenstein is the classic gothic horror novel which has thrilled and engrossed readers for two centuries. Written by Mary Shelley, it is a story which she intended would 'curdle the blood and quicken the beatings of the heart.' The tale is a superb blend of science fiction, mystery and thriller. Victor Frankenstein driven by the mad dream of creating his own creature, experiments with alchemy and science to build a monster stitched together from dead remains. Once the creature becomes a living breathing articulate entity, it turns on its maker and the novel darkens into tragedy. The reader is very quickly swept along by the force of the elegant prose, the grotesque, surreal imagery, and the multi-layered themes in the novel., This harrowing tale has held readers spellbound ever since it was published almost two centuries ago. This edition features a new Introduction by Clegg and an Afterword by preeminent literary critic Bloom. Revised reissue.
