Originally published as part of a contest between Mary Shelley, her husband Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Lord Byron, Frankenstein has since captured countless imaginations. When Dr. Victor Frankenstein learns the secret of imparting life to inanimate matter, he is eager to test his theories. The bones he collects to construct his human subject become a gruesome, frightening creature, endowed with supernatural size and strength. Lonely and miserable, the created comes to hate his creator. When the monster murders Frankenstein’s brother and his bride, the doctor embarks on a heated pursuit, only to put his own life in grave danger.

I sorg over sin mors død begraver den unge videnskabsmand Victor Frankenstein sig i et vanvittigt eksperiment og stykker et væsen sammen af kropsdele fra lig. Ved hjælp af lyn i natten gnistrer han liv i skabningen, men da han ser den åbne sine døde øjne, flygter han i rædsel, og det forladte væsen er overladt til sig selv, mens det vandrer rundt i verden i en desperat søgen efter venskab og forståelse. Overalt møder det afsky og frygt, og verdens afvisninger og dets egen ensomhed ender med at gøre dets indre lige så ondt og ækelt som dets ydre.

In the summer of 1816, Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley - the two great poets of their age - and a lovely 17-year-old named Mary Shelley were partying and reading ghost stories on the shores of Lake Geneva. They dared each other to come up with the scariest story. Young Mary was the only one to rise to the challenge, and she gave birth to the entire horror and science fiction genres by crafting a brilliant and chilling account of what it means to be human, what responsibilities we have to each other, and how far we can go in tampering with nature.

Few creatures of horror have seized imaginations and held them for so long as the anguished monster of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The story of Victor Frankenstein's terrible creation and the havoc it caused has enthralled generations of readers and listeners and inspired countless writers of horror and suspense.

After barely escaping Heath with their lives, Rowan, Kiaya, and Devon are thrilled to have a safe place to live as winter sets in. With plenty of supplies, a group that works together well, and the security of their new home, things are looking up. Even better? The freezing temperatures might have taken care of the zombies once and for all. Too bad everyone knows that things with Hank are far from over.

A sinister secret lies hidden in the swamps of East Texas. One which has been kept for centuries. A small town, a headless apparition, and a young man in a hospital hold the keys to unlocking the mystery. Four thousand miles away, Kat Tovslosky, Ken Melbourne, and Bart Andersen prepare to leave Ravens Cove for a routine conference. What begins as a well-needed break becomes the fabric of most people's nightmares. For Kat, Ken, and Bart, though, it's just another day in the life.

Mary Shelley hat als 18jährige etwas vollbracht, was noch kein Mensch vor oder nach ihr geschafft hat: In diesem zarten Alter einen Roman zu verfassen, der die Zeiten überdauert und eine bis heute aktuelle Thematik behandelt. Können, dürfen und sollen wir Leben auf Basis aller uns zu Verfügung stehenden technischen Mitteln ermöglichen oder sind Gottes bescheidene und beschränkte Grenzen Sperrgebiet für unseren Intellekt?

No one will tell Eva and Frost the truth about the Blurred Ones. Not their hunter friend, and definitely not the parentals. Maybe it’s because Frost spent time in a psychiatric ward and Eva never ceases to think with her hormones. So, when the girls see an opportunity to meet Albert Knox, the most infamous Blurred One of all, they lie about their true plans and head out on their field trip to San Antonio. Eva thinks she can use her feminine wiles to woo Knox, but he has a couple more minions than they thought - and she ends up getting tossed through the window.

Unwilling to stand around and wait while Eva's been taken over by one of the Despairity, Frost works tirelessly with Beau and Leo to figure out how to free her sister. Leo shows Frost memories of The Before, and Beau admits to a chilling connection with the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. And when Alora reveals her sinister plan - to build an unconquerable army of Blurred Ones by placing them inside the perfect hosts - the girls and their friends must fight to protect not just Bloodcreek, but all of the world.

Eva and Frost are pretty stoked about their blooming hunting skills. But when they finally meet Raylan’s sister, Tess, after a witch-doctor hunt in New Orleans, the group dynamic gets rather awkward. Tess wants to kill Knox straight up dead. As in, drag him up from the bottom of the old mine shaft and use Tess’ favorite snake from the Louisiana bayou to finish the job. Eva loves the idea of bonding with Tess and being extra sure that Knox will never come back to harm them. But Maggie ain’t thrilled at the idea, and Frost is a little distracted by her new cowboy boy-toy.

Though they may all be siblings beneath the skin (and graveyard as well!), these vampiric sisters are as different as any eight women could be. One, "The Good Lady Ducayne", prefers to acquire her nourishment through more scientific means. Another doesn't even drink blood at all; her approach to draining the life from her victims is somewhat more direct (but we think you'll agree that "Luella Miller" deserves the appellation "vampire" every bit as much as any of the rest).

Victor Frankenstein er en ung og ærgerrig videnskabsmand, der drømmer om at skabe sit eget levende væsen - af rester af lig. Han har opdaget, hvordan det kan lade sig gøre og forestiller sig at skabe noget smukt, men sådan går det som bekendt ikke. Han skaber et monster, som han ikke kan holde af, og så går det løs. Monsteret flygter, lever som udstødt og indleder en uhyggelig vendetta for at påkalde sig Frankensteins opmærksomhed. Mary Shelleys klassiske gyser- og science fictionroman fra 1818 foreligger nu i en ny oversættelse af Jakob Levinsen.

This is a detailed original summary of Mary Shelley's masterpiece. Frankenstein is a novel that is considered both one of the first science fiction novels and a timeless classic of the horror genre. It has terrified and entertained readers for decades. It is more than just a story about the creation of a monster. Mary Shelley gave readers not only a novel that has inspired great minds to create monsters of their own, but also opened up an endless debate regarding who the real monster is.

As the result of Victor Frankenstein's creation of a monster out of the remains of human corpses, a series of horrifying events occur. But who is responsible: the creature or his creator?

Ariel Kimber isn't like most 17 year old girls. She's different because she's a witch with magic and it's rare for females to hold magic anymore. She's settling into her new place amongst her coven of guys while she's settling into her new home at the same time. The Council's appearance into their lives has put everyone on edge. With good reason. Ariel is forced to meet with one of them on a regular basis so that they can learn from each other. Really, though, they just want to get to the bottom of where Ariel came from and she is more than happy to comply with them.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, the book that changed the world. Published to coincide with the 200th anniversary of the publication of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and a movie starring Elle Fanning as Mary Shelley, Monster is a brilliant fictionalized biography akin to The Other Boleyn Girl. Two centuries ago this year, the young woman who invented science fiction was only 20 when she wrote the book that became Frankenstein. Mary Shelley said, “People ask how I, then a young girl, could think of, and dilate upon, so hideous subject?”
