Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and the numerous movies inspired by it all have one thing in common: the title. Beyond the name, Hollywood's green monster and Shelley's creation are a world apart. There are no cheap thrills in Shelley's Frankenstein, and the book has remained popular for nearly two centuries because it truly belongs with the classics. Shelley's message is more powerful today than ever, as mankind grows closer to bringing her nightmare to reality. In a world of cloning and gene splicing, where man plays God on a daily basis, we should all take heed of the Frankenstein's lesson. Prepare to be surprised by this novel, it is a one-of-a-kind, in style and content. Cryptic illustrations, provided by Richard Moyer, spark the imagination without spoiling the images of the mind's eye.
