About this audiobook
A beloved classic adult novel skilfully abridged to inspire and engage a new generation of middle-grade readers, from a Waterstones Prize-shortlisted author.
"I, Victor Frankenstein, will explore unknown powers, and unfold to the world the deepest mysteries of creation..."
Driven by a boundless ambition to create life itself, young scientist Victor Frankenstein creates his own being from stitched-together body parts. But when he succeeds in bringing his creature to life, the result is horrific; a towering, hideous-bodied monster with the innocent soul of a newborn child. Spurned by its creator and rejected by society, the initially gentle creature turns on its maker and wreaks a trail of vengeful murder and tragedy.
