Beschreibung
Remarkably, a nineteen-year-old, writing her first novel, penned a tale that combines tragedy, morality, social commentary, and a thoughtful examination of the very nature of knowledge, writes best-selling author Leslie S. Klinger. Yet Mary Shelleys Frankenstein is often reductively dismissed as a tacky monster film or a cautionary tale about experimental science gone haywire. Now, Klinger does for Shelleys story of early nineteenth-century horror what he did for Sherlock Holmes, Dracula and H. P. Lovecraft, bringing this gothic tale to nightmarish life by reproducing the original text with the most lavishly illustrated and comprehensively annotated edition to date. For the first time, The New Annotated Frankenstein brilliantly accounts for variations between the 1818 and the 1831 versions of the text and includes an introduction by the director of Pans Labyrinth, Guillermo del Toro, and an afterword by feminist scholar Anne K. Mellor.

Zusammenfassung
Mary Shelley was an English novelist, short story writer, dramatist, essayist, biographer, and travel writer. In between his day job as one half of the prolific Amazing 15 Studios and raising his two children, Martin Stiff has found time to carve out this timeless and chilling period mystery in graphic novel form. / Mary Shelley (1797-1851) begann schon als Kind Gedichte und Romane zu verfassen. Noch keine 17 Jahre alt, brannte sie mit dem jungen Dichter Percy Shelley durch und bereiste Europa. Im Jahr ihrer Hochzeit 1816 verbrachten beide den Sommer mit Lord Byron am Genfer See, wo sie Ideen für Schauergeschichten sammelten. Schon zwei Jahre später veröffentlichte Shelley ihren Frankenstein, den Vater aller Gruselromane, dessen Erfolg es ihr ermöglichte, fortan als angesehene Schriftstellerin zu leben.
