Frankenstein

A Monster Story. A Moral Catastrophe. The Birth of Science Fiction. Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein at eighteen years old during the strangest summer in recent memory — stranded on the shores of Lake Geneva with Percy Shelley and Lord Byron, during a year of unnatural cold and darkness caused by a volcanic eruption halfway around the world. The ghost story competition Byron proposed that summer produced one entry worth remembering. The result was the first science fiction novel ever written — and one of the most influential books in the English language. Victor Frankenstein, his doomed creature, and the moral catastrophe that unfolds between them have haunted readers for two centuries, and for good reason. This is a story about creation, abandonment, and what happens when ambition outpaces responsibility. Those questions have only gotten more relevant with time. This is the complete, unabridged text of Frankenstein, narrated by Brady Smith for Another World Audiobooks.
