"Remarkably, a nineteen-year-old, writing her first novel, penned a tale that combines tragedy, morality, social commentary, and a thoughtful examination of the very nature of knowledge", writes Leslie S. Klinger. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is often reductively dismissed as a monster film or a cautionary tale about experimental science gone haywire. Illuminating every hidden dimension of the "first truly modern myth", Klinger does for Shelley’s story of early nineteenth-century horror what he did for Sherlock Holmes, Dracula and H.P. Lovecraft, bringing this gothic tale to nightmarish life by reproducing the original text with the most lavishly illustrated and comprehensively annotated edition to date.
Leslie S. Klinger is the multi-award-winning editor and annotator of seven volumes in Liveright’s New Annotated Series as well as the collection The Call of Cthulhu and Other Stories. He lives in Los Angeles, California. Guillermo del Toro is a director, screenwriter, producer, and novelist. Anne K. Mellor is a professor of English and women’s studies at UCLA.
