Frankenstein and Others
A Horror Short Story Collection by Mary Shelley
Subgenres:
- Gothic,
- Science Fiction
This book is for you if you're into...
- Early science fiction with laboratory experiments and moral dilemmas
- Gothic horror exploring reanimation and psychic transference
- Classic weird tales about immortality and the boundaries of life
This volume includes the complete weird writings of Mary Shelley (1797-1851), who wrote the imperishable novel Frankenstein before she was twenty.
This novel not only is a pioneering weird tale but also a foundational work of science fiction; its provocative notion that human life can be created in the laboratory is rich in complex moral overtones.
Shelley went on to write shorter weird tales, including the reanimation stories "Valerius" and "Roger Dodsworth"; "Transformation," a story of psychic transference; and "The Mortal Immortal," about the quest for eternal life.
The Classics of Gothic Horror series seeks to reprint novels and stories from the leading writers of weird fiction over the past two centuries or more.
Ever since the Gothic novels of the late 18th century, weird fiction has been a slender but provocative contribution to weird fiction.
