Or the Modern Prometheus
Edited by Paul Cook
The timeless cautionary tale of man's overreach with tragic consequences for all. Victor Frankenstein, obsessed with scientific studies, creates and brings to life a creature made from scavenged body parts. However, unable to deal with the hideous "monster" he has created, Frankenstein flees, setting in motion a series of events that ultimately destroys everything he holds dear. This edition includes critical essays by acclaimed Paul Cook, author and senior lecturer at Arizona State University, and Alexei and Cory Panshin (adapted from their Hugo Award-winning work on science fiction, "The World Beyond the Hill").
