Frankenstein details the story of scientist Victor Frankenstein who succeeds in giving life to a being of his own creation. Rather than being the perfect specimen he imagined that it, the hideous creature is rejected by Victor together with the rest of mankind driving the Monster to seeks revenge through murder and terror.
The novel was first published in 1818. It was written originally by Mary Shelley as a short story when the poet Lord Byron suggested that each member of a group of friends write a ghostly tale to keep themselves entertained. Mary's story was the undoubted winner.
