Frankenstein - Wordsworth Empress Collection.

A Gothic classic, dressed up beautifully for the witchy bookshelf.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is the legendary tale of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist whose obsession with creating life leads to consequences far beyond anything he imagined.

First published in 1818, it's a story of ambition, isolation, responsibility and what it really means to be human - and two centuries later, it remains one of the defining works of Gothic literature.

This beautiful Wordsworth Empress Collection hardback uses the 1831 text and includes an afterword by Dr Sally Minogue. With its dramatic black cover, rich purple floral detailing and ornate design, its every bit as lovely displayed on a Gothic bookshelf as it is to be read.
