About this audiobook

Ambition births a nightmare. When brilliant young scientist Victor Frankenstein unlocks the secret of life, he fashions a being from lifeless parts—then recoils in horror from the creature he has made. Rejected and alone, the Creature turns from wonder to wrath, vowing to haunt his creator. From storm-lashed laboratories to alpine chasms and frozen seas, Mary Shelley’s groundbreaking tale fuses Gothic dread with prophetic science fiction to ask what we owe our creations—and what makes us human. Narrated by James Scott, this vivid, emotionally layered performance captures the urgency of Victor’s confession and the aching eloquence of the Creature’s plea. Hear the crackle of lightning, feel the chill of the Alps, and follow a relentless pursuit that drives both maker and made toward a shattering reckoning. Perfect for fans of classic horror, dark psychological drama, and moral thrillers, this definitive recording brings new immediacy to a timeless story of genius, guilt, and responsibility. Press play and experience the novel that still electrifies.
