Summary

Audie Award Finalist, Solo Narration - Male, 2013

Audie Award Finalist, Classic, 2013

Narrator Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

“Villain! Before you sign my death-warrant, be sure that you are yourself safe.”

Also known as THE MODERN PROMETHEUS, this Gothic novel is from the grandmother of sci-fi horror herself. The legend of HOW the book came to be, might even surpass the amazing story itself. Chock full of symbolism and imagery and poignant themes, this book about “Man vs. Monster” is a literally a monster of a great tale.

Dan Stephens does a great job with narration; especially when voicing the inner turmoil within Frankenstein’s monster, itself.

A true classic
